MLB Rules Are Ruining The Game Of Baseball

Because of the higher ups in the MLB organization the sport is being ruined. Have you ever looked at the official rules? If not, let me tell you they are getting extremely confusing. I Have to say if they keep this up they will ruin the game of baseball. I like the game of baseball because it oldschool, now there’s all these rules that are changing sides of the game as a whole. The MLB rules are getting too confusing. In 2016 alone the MLB has amended 21 of the existing rules and added 3 brand new ones. That’s ridiculous, people are going to get sick of the sport if there are too many technical rules to pay attention to. As well as change the game as a whole. I also love the game for the reason that it hasn’t changed a whole lot over the years. Some of those rules are just flat out ridiculous. …show more content…
This is ridiculous because baseball is already a pretty slow paced game, and doesn't need things like coaches and players not getting there way to slow it even further. Also I was taught that the more you argue with the officials in any sport the less calls are going to go your way and I don't know about you but I like it when calls go our way. And to think that is not the only rule they have came up with to slow the game down.
If the MLB keeps adding rules that slow the game down and ruin the spirit of the game, it might die as a sport. An example of one of those rules is that they can now call for an instant reply when challenging a call. That slows down the pace of the game big time. Instead of just dealing with the cards your delt now you may slow the game by 10 - 15 mins so the umpires can watch a video of what they just saw in their own eyes. Part of the game is the human aspect of the officials. They make mistakes sometimes and that's just part of the game but now they are taking that part of the game
