BASEBALL’S NEW RULES – WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Cast your vote!
The shortened 60-game baseball season has spawned three rule changes designed to make it easier for players to get through a brace of games, including more doubleheaders and schedule changes due to the Coronavirus. National League teams are employing the designated hitter for the first time. Doubleheaders will be seven-inning games and extra-inning contests will begin with a runner on second base.
Oddly enough, some writers and observers of the game feel that these rules should be carried over to the next full season to make the game better and more efficient. But will it still be baseball as we have known it? We’ll take them one at a time. Let us know what you think.
(In case you’re wondering, Bill and I are traditionalists, so you can guess how we feel about the rule changes. -GL)
