Banning the shift feels weird to me. Fucking take advantage of the huge hole the defense just gave you.

Pitch clock and larger bases I'm fine with. More steals is always a nice thing and faster overall game speed is nice too.

Not a big fan of banning the shift. What does that mean? You have to have two people on each side of 2nd base but can move those two around however you want?

Isn't the existence of the shift proof that batters can't direct their hits?

They can work on it. Bunt it over to the third base side and get your free single. It is definitely possible. Just the numbers probably suggest it isn't work taking the single if you can potentially smash a home run

As long as they're on the infield, yeah. Dirt or infield grass, can't be on the outfield grass when the pitch is thrown.

Now--Are the going to decide on what to do about illegal substances on the ball? Because the obvious answer would seem to be, "Adopt one specific type of sticky stuff that everyone has to use (or not). Everything else is banned". The league can't even decide if it wants to enforce its own rules at this point.

I see ump checking pitcher's hands after they walk off the mound all the time
