It's not that there is no intentional walks, they just don't have to throw the pitches. The guy gets first without the pitches being thrown. Dumb rule in my opinion. I like the raising the strike zone to the top of the knees though.

I like the raising the strike zone to the top of the knees though. I agree with the strike zone. So, if the rule change goes into affect basically you say, or mgr says intentional walk and its done??? |

I feel pitcher should have to throw 4 pitches for the intentional walk. runner on 3rd and they want to intentional walk a batter, pitcher throws a wild one the runner be able score or pitcher could accidentally throw one over the plate and batter be able to hit it. |

I agree that intentional walk should be 4 pitches. Mistakes have been made before occasionally a ball is hit as well.
As far as changing the strike zone they can barely call the strike zone as it is.

There are roughly 1200 IBB/ year in MLB. A mistake happens what, every 5 years if that? So you are really worried about the .00017% chance something might happen? Really? |

I'm sure mistakes, i.e. wild pitches during an intentional walk more often than every 5 years.

Not a fan of either potential rule change.
A) The Intentional walk should be pitched IMO. Honestly I am totally against it 99% of the time anyways. Id rather have my guy throw four junk balls and see what happens. But the throws should happen.
B) the K zone is kind of a joke to me. After watching the last few years. Maybe its the umps that need to get it right. If they called a better K down then they have, this would be a nonissue.

If they are going to mess with the strike zone than have KZone call the pitches because these umps are way too inconsistent to call a defined strike zone. Friday night Peavy had a pitch called a strike that was clearly off the KZone, the next pitch Kzone showed was closer to the zone at the same exact height and it was called a ball. It would also eliminate catchers pitch framing to get a strike call. Posey was pulling up low pitches like a madman and getting strike calls. To keep the human element the ump would still signal the call but K zone would tell him what it is. |

The biggest thing I dont like about the rule is that the pitcher is in trouble and he gets rewarded by throwing 4 less pitches.I say let him throw the pitches

However, I think the changes to the strike zone will be positive. Something has to happen. Today's game is evidence of that. C.B. Bucknor' s awful strike zone nearly cost us the game. |

I think both are worthless changes to the game. The real problem lies with umpires' interpretation and lack of consistency, not the K zone as worded. That's like taking a 40% free throw shooter who never shoots the same way twice and telling him "You know what, we're going to move the hoop 3 feet to the right."
If you were commissioner for a day, what 1 rule change would you make (if any at all)?
