Tony MassarottiMazz: For MLB, a much-needed – and offensive – shift
Remember this: the players agreed to this in the latest collective bargaining. That’s right, the players signed off on an 11-person rules committee that contains six owners, four players and one umpire, which means the they gave owners control of the rules. Players can complain about whatever they want, but let’s not kid ourselves. If baseball union leadership felt strongly about the rules on the field, they would have fought for them.
