• The third to first pickoff move has been outlawed in college baseball
• Pitchers will no longer be required to throw four pitches for intentional walks. You may just choose to intentionally walk a batter.
• Defensive players not allowed to block base w/o ball
• You now may not make a move to be intentionally HBP. If you do, a strike is called.
• Teams are now limited to six defensive conferences per game.
• Any ruling on an intentionally hit batter cannot be argued.

The intentional walk thing is silly. MLB did that to speed up the game and it saved them like 3 mins per contest.

Is it sillier than having the pitcher throw 4 intentional balls?tulaneoutlaw wrote:The intentional walk thing is silly. MLB did that to speed up the game and it saved them like 3 mins per contest.

Re: New baseball rules for next season
I think so. In cases where changing the rules has no impact, why change the rules? It only happens once in a very blue moon, but sometimes interesting things happen when a pitcher has to throw those 4 balls.gerryb323 wrote:Is it sillier than having the pitcher throw 4 intentional balls?tulaneoutlaw wrote:The intentional walk thing is silly.

Personally, I think an internally walk is just a waste of 3 pitches.tulaneoutlaw wrote:I think so. In cases where changing the rules has no impact, why change the rules?

I like the situations when a coach would bring in a new pitcher to intentionally walk someone. Way to start the new guy off on a positive note! The guy you too out couldn't have thrown 4 balls?!

Re: New baseball rules for next season
There's nothing better than a guy swinging/hitting a pitch that's supposed to be an intentional ball. Wild pitches are also very entertaining.tulaneoutlaw wrote:I think so.

Re: New baseball rules for next season
It may seem nit picky, but make the pitcher throw four more pitches. If he is going to walk someone, it should cost a little energy.ml wave wrote:There's nothing better than a guy swinging/hitting a pitch that's supposed to be an intentional ball.
