Machado clock violation

[Messiah717]

So, Machado becomes the first player to get an automatic strike called under the new time clock rules. It takes more time for the umpire to stop play, motion for the violation and call a strike than anything else. This is stupid.

Agreed, ...why can't they just leave the game alone? And even though I despise the "shift" I think it's wrong to forbid the defenses from using it. Instead, I think it should be up to some of these stubborn batters to learn to go the other way. These guys are professionals and you can't tell me that they can't do it but they selfishly still try to pull an outside 2-strike pitch only to roll over on it and hit a weak roller to the infield.

And if teams using the shift started getting burned enough times by hitters going to the opposite field, the shift would eventually be abandoned by defenses.

Just saw that Machado got a 11 year $35o Mil extension from the Padres that will pay him till he's 42.

Tradition is gone.

Can you imagine a playoff game ending like that?

Both the NFL and MLB have made rule changes over the years that make their sports less enjoyable than the ones I grew up watching.

Have I said lately how much I hate Manny Machado??

I'm not sure which I hate more Machado or the new MLB rules?
