For spring training games. Will work the same as the minor league rule, batter has to be in the box 5 seconds before expiration. I say about time since the players were completely unwilling to pick up the pace on their own

Only about 50 years overdue.

Baseball "purists", aka 50 year old nerds who never even played the game, have held back progress long enough.

If baseball is serious about picking up the pace of play, they'll regulate batters leaving the box. No walking around adjusting your gloves and taking practice swings between pitches.

They don’t need all of these clocks. They just need umpires to control the flow. Why install clocks to regulate it? Just give umps the authority to speed it along.

Relief pitchers should only be removed after

(1) ending an inning, if they enter with less than 3 outs

(2) facing 3 batters, minimum

(3) allowing a run

(4) getting ejected

Nothing kills a game like righty-righty 1 out, LOOGY enters to face lefty and walks him, righty back in for the next out.

Pat Neshek said in a recent interview the players are ready to strike and sit multiple years if needed. Talk about a killer to the sport if they did this
