I wonder if they will relax the rules a bit in the Playoffs with higher stakes involved.

I don't believe there's ghost runners in the Playoffs, and in Hockey, they don't have shoot-outs in the Playoffs. You play until you score, or you fall down from exhaustion.

I have a feeling they're not too concerned about shortening games once Playoff/World Series baseball starts up. More time to sell commercial spots.

It wouldn't surprise me. I can't think of a single person (other than maybe Manfred) who would be happy with that outcome

The Astros v Nationals game just went 2 hours and 5 minutes. Is that what the fans wanted?

The people I know that don't like baseball won't watch for 10 minutes. I hope they get rid of the time clocks. Also, what are those giant white boxes on the infield?

Maybe team uniforms should be made by The Ringling Bros. to reflect what a clown show MLB is becoming.

still unsure about the time clock but after seeing it in many many spring training games and seeing how it is saving almost 30 minutes per game I am starting to believe it might work.

Still need to see it in various situations when games count and how it flows in late innings but regardless it is not part of the game.

But when the first controversy hits it should get interesting

I love the pace of the games, it seems the players are adjusting too.

Max Scherzer, who likes the new rules, looks like he's having fun in Spring Training strategizing and testing out what the umpires will allow, and what they won't.
