    but the funny thing is what happened to her nose
    it grew until it reached all of her toes
    now when people say her feet smell they mean her nose

    fwiw…
    mlb approves pitch clock and bans shifts for 2023
    also limit on pickoff attempts and bigger bases

    LINK

    i agree with banning the shift, the other stuff is little league shit that’s completely unnecessary imo

    I don't understand banning the shift - learn how to hit better - is the defense not supposed to put themselves in the best possible situation to play better defense?
    Don't like the shift, bunt

    I like the pitch clock - some take too much time in between pitches

    bigger bases - I think they rounded off the edges of the bases to help with finger injuries (idk I could be making that up)

    limited pickoff attempts - is the limit two? If the limit is two (I heard that somewhere) then I fucking hate it. some pitchers throw their shitty pickoff move to setup the runner with their best pickoff move. plus after you throw two pickoffs, the baserunner is automatically gifted the next base essentially

    I was thinking the same thing about the shift. This rule change rewards inferior hitters who can't learn to go the other way or lay down a bunt (I'm looking at you, Cody).

    clearly in the minority here but i feel there should be some amount of randomness to balls put in play on the infield to lessen launch angle strikeouts for one
    sure its nice to think Cody would drop a bunt now and again, i say it in almost every game thread and for real why doesn't he???
    Max did it for a hit just the other day and it might actually help snap Cody out of it, whatever IT is after 3 years
    it would be nice if every player could learn to control the bat like FF does but there' only a handful of players i can recall in history that could do that named Carew, Boggs, Gwynn
    imo it makes the game less enjoyable if a ground ball has absolutely no chance to reach the outfield
    so launch angle till you drop and we don't care if you hit .220 days hopefully are coming to an end

    fundamentals be damned
    saw a video the other day of ichiro laying down tons of bunts for hits
    fuck it, here it is…


    no excuse for cody, taylor— really anyone — not doing whatever they can to get on base more
    and, absolutely shameful that a guy like roberts — who laid down bunts frequently as a player— doesn’t encourage his players to at least try it

    I guess the league figures if batters have not figured it out during the last 10 years, no adjustment will never happen.
