On a more serious note, lefty pitchers already have a hard enough time here. Also, the only reason it's being instituted is because us silly Americans are impatient. Time isn't an issue here. Summarizing: No. -1 And boo on MLB.

The commisioner is doing it even though owners, managers and players pleaded with him not to. The study that I just read the other day said it will save maybe 10mins if I remember right. Woohoo, 10mins less to a 3 1/2 to 4 hr game at most

Besides MLB has had one credibility problem after another since the current commissioner took over. In fact MLB, based on what it is doing now, should apologize to Pete Rose MLB, Once Averse to Gambling, Strikes a Deal With MGM Resorts MLB may alter rules on owners, casino gambling Not to mention what my local Boston Red Sox did and the Astros . . . Why MLB's credibility problem is only getting worse under commissioner Rob Manfred So BrokenBat is a far more "Pure" form of baseball than MLB is right now. Lets keep it that way!
