The shorter season is a great start to make baseball meaningful to most people again. They also should decrease the games to 7 innings. Right or wrong the game is too long and slow for the modern mind and life. Similarly golf should only be 16 holes.

Baseball at the major league level stopped being meaningful a long time ago for many fans.

Right or wrong the game is too long and slow for the modern mind and life.

Playing seven-inning games isn't going to fix that. So you have a seven-inning boring game instead of a nine-inning boring game. Why not save everyone the boredom and play a ZERO-inning game? Just have a three-hour batting practice and call it a day.

Time limits (if possible) between pitches

Like in Little League, if we jacked around too much at the plate the ump would say “Cmon, Batter”

I like the DH on both sides. Pitchers batting bores me

Golf should use carts . . . for at least the early holes, esp in the latter rounds.
