I’ve watched more baseball this season than all of last season. I love it!

More steals, higher averages, more runs per game and almost 40 minutes shorter? Why would anyone hate that?

If I see Bob Costas, I watch and learn

Mike Hargrove- The Human Rain Delay. One of the best nicknames.

Roboumps can't get here soon enough. Drives me nuts to see pitches 8 inches out of the zone called for strikes.

Was skeptical about this new rule. I've watched more early season baseball in years. Games are shorter in time. 🙂

Bob should be the commissioner of baseball.

I agree with Bob. The robot ump takes away framing. It is definitely one of the most interesting things in baseball. Mike Minor and Lance Lynn were in the cy young conversation, for only one year. Jeff Mathis stole them so many strikes... And yeah, it's fun to see the interactions between players and Umps. It's not a smart move to argue balls and strikes. You will get tossed and then you can't help your team. It is pretty entertaining when it happens. Baseball is a VERY emotional game and taking that away stinks

After more than 3k games called as a baseball umpire, fastpitch umpire, and football official I can honestly say that there are two ways to call rules such as the pitch clock. By the absolute letter of the rule or by the spirit of the rule. The key is knowing when to apply either philosophy.

Love the new rules! :)

You can keep the shift ban, you can keep the bigger bases, you can keep the universal dh, you can keep expanded playoffs, you can keep the juiced baseballs, and you can certainly keep instant replay. You can have the robo umps too (I think human umpires could simply just be held more accountable and penalized like everyone else but that's a conversation for another time). The ONE thing I do not care for the game to keep is an arbitrary timekeeping (I'm referring to the pitch clock) in a timeless sport. By all means, have the increased amount of base hits and runs and stolen bases, but there's no need to rush the players during their approach before the ball is thrown. We're fine with a 3hr12min football game and a 4hr30min round of golf on the first day of the Masters. A 3hr13 minute baseball game shouldn't be an issue, especially with the ever increasing costs to attend.

Pitch clock awkwardness where pitchers and batters don't know why the umps calling fake balls and strikes, lack of organic throws over to first, fake runner on second, can't even go to the concession stand or to the bathroom without missing parts of the game. Garbage. Why are people who hate baseball changing the game for other people who hate baseball?

Sorry, Bob… you’re making the game longer again by introducing ball/strike challenges.

I’ll never forget that one time Bob Costas wiped his ass with his face and got pink eye during the Olympics. So dirty.

One thing they didn't talk about is the beer league idiotic extra innings rule

Of course mlb network’s stooges will support the league’s own changes.

Exactly how MUCH speed does Brian Kenny take?, Jesus dude, dial it back.

Biger bases. Ok. Shift restriction? Messes with strategy. Timer? A disaster. Baseball wasnt meant to have a clock. Totally disrupt the game.

If you start adding exceptions for "great ABs", it reeks of arbitrariness and even favoritism for some athletes over others.

PLEASE do not be lenient on the clock 🤦🏻‍♀️

Bob trying to look hard like he's still 30, dude aged

Damn, he’s old…..

bob is an elitist. he is a divider and not a uniter. he needs to be gone.

They literally pay this guy to fo nothing

What a joke

I didn’t know Costas was a little bigger than a baby as he sits on that seat
