I love the ghost runner rule. Saves your bullpen, mostly. Unless you do 3 extras in a row like the Mariners just did in Texas.

I agree that there should be more callups in September. Like that it is limited, so teams don't just turn September into a second spring training if they're out of contention. 3-4 would be better IMO.

Love the limits on shifts. Was killing the game.

Bigger bags is a plus for me. I like that there are more steal attempts.

Pitch clock is great. Definitely speeds up the game. A lot less players standing around adjusting their jockstraps between pitches.

Love replay. Was a long time coming. Looking forward to the auto-umpires with challenges of balls and strikes. I thought it worked well in spring ball. Lots faster than I imagined, so doesn't slow the game much.
