MLB TV is talking right now about moving the mound back and how it will only help hitters.
Are you in favor of this?

it’s an absolute no brainer imo.
the game has changed. A foot is a good test point.

Wouldn't this "lengthen" the time of the game though since the batters will be getting more hits? Since they could see the ball better? Just a question
but it will mean less strikeouts and more balls in play.
in theory.

It is less about more offense than about more contact and balls in playWhile we're at it, let's shorten the NFL field by 20 yards or so. We need more scoring so dumbass fans that are 'bored' by a good defensive game watch!
I say only have 1 outfielder as well. If someone reaches 20 runs before 9 innings than the other team has one more inning to reach 20 runs as well. In the event of a tie a 2 man sack race will be held until a winner is crowned.

First of all you don’t need to do that to football because they are one of the most popular sports out there. Baseball needs to make a few adjustments because they are really losing younger fans.While we're at it, let's shorten the NFL field by 20 yards or so.

More balls in play = higher chance of scoring..... no question.
true. But just having more action, even if it resulted in zero additional runs, would make the game more watchable to casual fans.
but yes dumb luck would create additional runs scored
I mean..... as we move closer and closer to Idiocracy.... I guess the ratings matter and have to give the continued dumbed down generation what they want....
this is how society works. On all levels.
but to be fair, guys are throwing an average of 20mph harder than when the mound was set at 60’6” and we haven’t moved it at all
And guys are running faster, jumping higher, throwing harder, etc. in basketball and football but the field/court has remained the same because it yields more scoring and fans love that cause "OMG SCOREZ AND MAH FANTASY TEAMZ SEE I AM SPORTS FAN!" So back to my point. Baseball wants more scoring
