I loved playing baseball.

There are a few rules they could add, in addition to some new stuff they are trying (especially the relief pitcher rules and DH), that would get me to watch, other than the play-offs, again:

- No defensive shifts. Yes, I know the hitter should adjust; they haven't and it is boring.
- Batter can leave the box for 5 seconds, has five seconds to get set in the box; he gets penalized a strike after that.. Jesus the fiddling gets old.
- Pitcher has to be ready within 15 seconds of his last pitch or he gets penalized a ball...unless a ball was put into play or there was an out. Throw the f'ing ball without pretending to be a cast member of Glee.
- Relief pitchers get two warm up pitches. They have been throwing for ten minutes for the love of god.
- Three pitches between innings or the commercial break, whichever is shorter.
- Throw at a batters head or anywhere after an "unwritten rule" has been broken, 5 starts is the penalty, period, and the club gets fined 10 million.
- Allow celebrations. See above. There is no joy in the game today.

So much more.

Again, I love baseball. It is simply unwatchable in it's current form. As always, YMMV.
