If anyone expected a great outcry from players after Major League Baseball on Friday announced big rule changes for 2023 —— well, just take the temperature of P.J. Higgins’ reaction as an example.
Former Chicago Cubs President Theo Epstein, left, speaks during a news conference at Major League Baseball's headquarters, Sept. 9, 2022, in New York.Cubs union representative Ian Happ said players felt their voices weren’t being heard with their input on the nuances of the proposed rule changes and on other issues that weren’t addressed.
“There’s real things in there. The umpire has the discretion to give you time if something like that happens. But leaving it up to umpire discretion is a tough thing when you’re ... getting called out on strikes because you’re not looking at the pitcher at a certain time.
Bote referenced the NBA’s ill-fated 2006 experiment with replacing the traditional leather ball with a synthetic one, Spalding’s “Cross Traxxion” microfiber composite. The infamous new ball was nixed after three months.
