4. Baseball is way too slow and that is one of the reasons I quit watching a while back

but I think a pitch clock is s band-aid. The real problem is commercials. The amount of commercials really needs to be cut down, but of course they won't. So games will continue to be 4 hours in time with about 20 minutes of actual play.

As for the shift - geez batters learn to spray the ball. It is part of the game.
As for bigger bases seems more cosmetic than anything.

So I don't see anything there that will lure me back.
