Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3893967, member: 652"] I am fine with changing rules. Just don’t do it midseason. They should have done this after the year. MLB front office is using lack of offense as a cover that this something that will be negotiated in a new CBA. Pitchers will want something negotiated and MLB will now have leverage and give something that they didn’t need to before and be able to get something they want from the players from as a result. Manfred is a terrible commissioner. Cole clearly benefited from a higher spin rate due to whatever he used that he learned while in Houston. It’s why I won’t hammer during the season as taking it away midseason is the wrong way to enforce the rules. Especially since they are for what I said and MLB is using the lack of offense as cover when a realistic answer is the game has gotten so much younger hitters aren’t getting more ABs in the minors before getting called up.
