This nice article primarily focuses on the pitch clock change, but to me the infield shift ban and the base size change has been more important to improving the game. Batters are more willing to go for infield hits which leads to more base running but also more great defensive plays. To me, the game has been much better this year than the last several.

If there was a hockey game and a baseball game on at the same time, it used to basically be possible to watch almost the entirety of both, just by checking the baseball game every couple of minutes or so.

Now it’s one or the other but not both. Baseball is must-actually-watch again. It’s so wonderful.

Don't whine at me about the #pitchclock.

My #Athletics are losing 11-0 in the 4th.

I want this game over as soon as possible.

How long should the pitch clock be set to?

Options are in seconds with the bases empty / runners on. Current rule is 15 / 20.

Please boost so we can get decent representation.

I'm not enjoying the pitch clock. The game feels too rushed now. Baseball is supposed to be relaxing. This ain't basketball.
