Chop the games, limit the mound and pen I like, but other than that I disagree with what you have
Pitch clock: Really does nothing
Shift: Hit it the other way, it really isn't hard to figure out
Bat Flip: Just kidding, I love this
I do hate, hate, HATE, the old 'unwritten rules' of baseball. it's a game; let the bat flips happen, the trash talk, the walk off pimp strut, all of it. Quit making baseball a sport of the 1920's, a 'gentleman' sport. Just play and make the game fun dammit
And for the record, baseball doesn't suck. And if people don't like it, it's not for any of those reasons. Really it boils down to why people don't like soccer; it's too slow for them. Which is fine, I get that. But like soccer, baseball is just a massive chess match. In order to really like baseball, you have to understand what's going on in an at bat, why the count dictates the pitch, what kind of hitter this is, what the bullpens are planning, etc. In order to really like soccer, you have to understand what a run is, why they're passing it backwards all the way to their goalie, what exactly it is they're trying to set up. And if you don't, well both sports are going to seem extremely boring and stupid to you
