Shift bans could be one of those things that is a one-and-done like the ghost runner at second base in extra innings. Guess we'll see how it plays out.
Pitch clock is long overdue, though. You want to help the pace of play, a pitch clock is going to shave down a lot of time.

Now that baseball is back I can say just how much I hate them getting rid of the shift. To all the batters who cry about it maybe try to not be so one dimensional at the plate and maybe just maybe they wouldn't put the shift on you It's not that simple. Pitchers pitch to the shift. They throw it where if the batter makes contact it would likely go towards the shift. They aren't leaving many fat ones on the outside of the plate to slap the other way. On top of that most pitchers today are throwing 98+ plus making it harder to find a pitch to hit the other way.

I feel around 140 games would be ideal. But it will likely never happen. Owners don't want to give up the revenue and players don't want to give up the checks.

Also expanding the playoffs to 12 teams, is well it's not something I wanted or care for but fringe playoff team owners want some of that sweet Oct money so of course they're gonna push to expand. Also have they announced how the new playoffs are gonna be formatted? I don't like it either but at least it's not 14. I think those one game wildcards are out. Too bad, those were good.

Another thing they're trying out next year: less divisional series and every team will play at least one series against every other team in the Majors, including interleague series.
Personally I'm fine with this. Yes, it means less Yankees-Red Sox series and less feasting on the Orioles when they suck. But it also means less road series in Toronto and Tampa and their miserable ballparks.
