Rob Manfred is probably doing everything he can to get more players to go to the Angels.

We got bats. Whether they come through is another story
Went to the A’s game today with my girl (her first game) against the Astros and man 
these fans were RUTHLESS to them cheaters, especially Correa and Altuve. I can’t imagine that 81 games out the year.
The Astros kicked the A’s so bad, they put an outfielder in as pitcher for the 9th inning, and he almost got Altuve and Kyle Tucker to strike out
Overall great experience and atmosphere, my girl loved it, and it’s just good to have fans in seats for baseball again
One more thing. My girl said, “this coliseum is beautiful, especially the field!” and I officially now think she needs glasses
she about to go crazy once she see’s the Giants’ park

I remember last year A-Rod floated outlawing the shift to possibly help with the game regaining some watchability...how yall feel about that 
part of me agrees but another part says hitters just need to try & go against the shift more

I used to be against it but then I read/heard an analogy that I hadn't thought of before: illegal defense in the NBA. I still think guys should be able to go the other way though.I remember last year A-Rod floated outlawing the shift to possibly help with the game regaining some watchability...how yall feel about that

What do you think about Theo floating the idea of pushing the mound back? Nobody commented in here when I mentioned it. Average fastball velocity has gone from around 90 in 2005 to 93 in 2020.

I'm less enthusiastic about pushing the mound back as I am for outlawing the shift....I think the shift has gone so far that the human element which all of us first become sports fans because of is almost completely erased
but like you said, a hitter could always bunt but they might not even teach guys that anymore
the mound being pushed back doesn't really change the hitting approach of going for homers as a way to overcompensate for the amount of shifts being implemented. But I'll have to see a bit more of the data behind why Epstein thinks that is a good suggestion.
I honestly think a team just needs to experiment with a lineup of contact hitting speedsters for a year and see what kind of damage that could do
