    It's not a rule change, just more of a clarification for umpires since a lot of guys are going to extremely simplified mechanics where their windup mechanics are very similar to their stretch mechanics.

    They just have to clearly declare if they're in the windup or stretch, pre-pitch. That's pretty much determined by the placement of their throwing hand. So if they're taking the sign with their hands in the set position, they should have to go through windup mechanics. If they want to go stretch mechanics, then they can't take the sign from the set position.

                Whoever KADA is I'm pretty sure they're open to bribes. Especially from an American who'll generate higher revenue for the Korean economy with him playing rather than not.

                  Hard to argue with that logic

                    The Phillies have a chance to go above .500 tonight. That is actually pretty exciting.

                        Also they used standards similar to the Olympics, which are more harsh than those of the MLB if I remember correctly. Could be wrong on that part.

                          I think I found why Godgers hates Eric Thames.

                            Jays enter desperation territory and it's only April.

                            Russell Martin is their starting 3B tonight

                              I think it's because they want to keep his bat in the lineup since it's starting to come around. In a normal situation with Donaldson around I think Russell would be sitting this one out.

                              That being said.....Yeah it's desperation time here.
