    Why not just go to 2 outs per inning. That would greatly speed up games and is about a baseball accurate as getting rid of the windup. I sometimes think some people on these boards (and at SDS) just cosplay as actual baseball fans.

    This is a game mode where .240 hitters get the same contact rating as Ted Williams

    Bingo! This will not speed up games drastically at all.. so it’s kinda silly imo

    Also like you said.. aren’t some pitchers more difficult to hit from the stretch bc they have glitchy releases(from the stretch)

    I know one off the top of my head that has a glitchy stretch release.. Kershaw

    Not sure how many other pitchers have the kershaw thing going on

    Kershaw

    Well, he won't be in the game this year so that is one less to worry about

    Pitching from the stretch is going to make toxic players constantly slide step and not slide step as it changes the release point of the pitcher. I HATE when people do that especially when they just randomly break not out in a high leverage spot. If it gets abused it would make online play pretty miserable

    0 reason to not give players the option to choose in H2H play

    Because baseball is all about speeding up. Getting the game over and going on to the next one. Ruining the beauty of the game with impatience.

    Slight update to your well written words ... "Because SDS thinks MLB The Show is all about speeding up. Getting the video game over and going on to the next one. Ruining the beauty of the game with impatience."
