I actually like the pitch clock...makes games feel like they did when many of us started watching baseball.

These rules, though, not sure I quite see the point. Designated pinch runner? Doesn't really seem like something needed. Who's asking for this?

With pitcher disengagements, the limit to 2 seems positive so far, but probably needs more time to see how it effects the game before we change it again.

And tying DH to pitcher hitter innings pitched seems like a real stretch, especially after just recently going to universal DH.

This one makes no sense to me, if a pitcher gets bombed and pulled after 2 or 3 innings, his team loses the DH, thereby lessening his teams chances for a comeback. Also, what if a pitcher throws a lot of pitches before he finishes his 5 innings, he decides to push himself and hurts his arm?

I like the pitch clock but this one goes too far.

Agree to it all now the teams really must figure out their version of clock management
