The 3 batter minimum is absolutely horsecrap. Why does Rob Manfred hate baseball?

Can you imagine a World Series game where a relief pitcher comes in and is wild and walks 2 batters and has to stay in the game because of this rule?

That rule will directly influence the outcome of a World Series, im calling it now. All that will be said on twitter after is "why did manager x take him out!" "Because he had to, theres the 3 batter rule." |

What will happen is this: Joe Maddon will come out to the mound. The pitcher will flex his shoulder and wince. Maddon will summon the trainer. The trainer will poke at the shoulder and look very grave. Maddon will declare that the pitcher has strained a muscle and can't continue. The Red Sox will demand a review. Three physicians will be flown in from the Mayo Clinic. At 2:00 a.m., they will declare that the pitcher is fine. The 109 fans left in the park will watch him strike out the next three batters to end the inning and clinch the World Series for the Cubs.
Rob Manfred will announce his resignation as commissioner to become president of Yale, whose former president will have just been fired for the admissions cheating scandal. |

I’m all for the 30 second clock but more for the batters who mess around between every pitch. Your job is to be ready to hit. Get on with it. |

As a Mariners fan I remember Lou Piniella going out to the mound to tell a pitcher he was hurt. I can't remember who it was, but the pitcher looked confused and frustrated as Lou took the ball from him. Lou did not have anyone in the bullpen, and I guess he did not like what he was seeing on the mound, so he decided to tell the pitcher he was injured to give the relief pitcher some extra pitches to warm up.

I don't think fans have a problem with a leisurely pace; it's the lethargic pace they dislike. |

I grew up a baseball junkie and it remains my favorite game. That being said, we went to the DC United soccer game and it was wonderful to have the game run for almost exactly two hours. I’m not saying that baseball should target two hours but having constant action for a fairly well defined time period was refreshing, |

Also, baseball is a regional sport whereas football is national. Unless the World Series is compelling with two great teams or a backstory like the 2004 Red Sox or 2016 Cubs, most people who aren't fans of the two teams in the World Series will watch something else. The Super Bowl is an all-day event with a two-week buildup. It is a lot like a heavyweight championship bout in boxing and we had the New England Patriots versus the Los Angeles Rams in this year's Super Bowl. The game turned out to be a dud, but the ratings were huge. However, the World Series featured the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers and most fans didn't watch it. The Red Sox are no longer an underdog team trying to overcome a curse and the Dodgers were in the World Series the year before. |

If you take NFL their ratings didn't decline until they added Thursday night games. Then end of season you have Saturday games.
But normally they now have all day sunday, monday night and thursday night. They killed their market because their games are really long too especially those Monday/Thursday games. Mark Cuban actually said if they added Thursday night games their ratings and brand would suffer. Jeff Samardzija said today they should do ties in regular season. But I honestly don't think the MLB has a real time length problem. It is purely an Image/Brand problem. Public says its long, slow, boring so it is. Doesn't matter if its actually true or not. Only what is perceived. But its image/brand problem is only amplified by the fact there are zero player personalities in the MLB (Except Harper in Philly now). People love story lines. And MLB has none. It has as much personality as the NHL. Their #1 player (trout) for 8 seasons has no personality when it comes to the MLB. He shows more personality when it comes to football and the Eagles and Philly. |

MLB problem is Postseason not like NBA and NHL 8 teams in each League but we can do that in this Game same with NFL more Teams in Playoffs. Also MLB/NFL/NBA/WNBA/MLS need to follow NHL do Classic series so like MLB might play a Game like at Children Mercy Park where Sporting KC plays or Aerohead Stadium where Chiefs or in another NFL or College Stadium in a city where no MLB Teams is. Also Draft in MLB and NBA at site of NHL one for that year or MLB like hiow NFL does it.
