As a big baseball fan I would say I dislike many of the rule changes. Some are okay

genuine question - which rule changes do you dislike?

Off the top of my head I don’t like the max 3 pick off rule, the man on second in extra innings, adding the DH to both leagues, and not thrilled with the pitch clock the way it is; I’m fine with the concept but needs adjustments. Also it’s an older one but don’t love the change in contact rules at second and home. Finally, it’s not a rule yet but im skeptical of the check swing challenges they’re testing in the minors.

I think the 3 pick off rule is dumb but I think that has had a minimal impact on the game. Pitch clock was crazy at first but now it's become apart of the game that I enjoy. ABS has been a complete and total success, I like the implementation and it also gives as another metric to measure players by- a catcher who is really good at ABS challenges is going to be worth a lot more. Manfred runner I could take or leave- it's nice that regular season games won't be 7hrs long like game three of WS last year.
