The MLB’s New Rules Are Here To Stay

R2C2 with CC Sabathia and Ryan Ruocco

In the latest episode, CC is joined by guest co-host Jayson Stark, sportswriter for The Athletic and host of the Starkville podcast. With Spring Training underway, the guys dig into baseball’s new rules on full display and some of the early moments reflecting how teams, players, and umpires are adjusting. They also cover topics ranging from banning the shift, what players will benefit with putting more balls in play, pitching deliveries, pace of play, and the overall impact on the sport as an entertainment product and vehicle to foster more participation on a youth level. As the start of the season nears, CC and Jayson set the scene for a whole new brand of the sport come Opening Day.
