| Jan. 4, 2018 Bob S. | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1-1 or 0-0 Count To me, the issue isn't just about whether the game will go faster. I think it does when you start with a 1-1 count. It would be even faster if you start with a 2-2 count or play a one pitch tournament. Personally, I like to have more control as a batter about what pitch I hit. When you start with a 1-1 count, if the pitcher hits the corner of the plate with the first pitch (or throws it at a questionable height and it is called a strike anyway), you have to swing at anything near the plate, or at a questionable height, on the next pitch. I'd rather not have to do this, even if the game isn't quite as fast. |
| Jan. 2, 2018 Bob S. | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1-1 or 0-0 Count I notice from the survey that the older age groups prefer starting with a 0-0 count, whereas the younger groups prefer starting with a 1-1 count. Since there are already different rules for the older groups (such as the number of players in the field), I suggest that if the Rules Committee is inclined to change the starting count, it should consider making the change just for the younger groups. |
