Listen "Rob Manfred’s Gone Batty"
Episode Synopsis
A listener sent me a link to a story that revealed the latest in a long line of "reforms" that Rob Manfred, MLB Commissioner, has proposed to "enhance" the game of baseball and "engage" the fans more thoroughly. Having already ushered in pitcher's and hitter's clocks, limits in pickoff moves, a placing a runner on second base in extra-inning games, larger bases, banning the shift on the infield, and the universal designated hitter, Manfred has proposed an idea that actually violates the present rules of baseball, which is only one of a legion of reasons why it should never reach the batter's box.
