Any change such as the following will make the market resolve NO
changing number of seconds for various actions pitcher/batter can take
changing rules for the shift
changing number of pickoffs/times batters can call time/etc
Basically I'm trying to be very strict here on any significant change.
If there is an informal change such as a directive to umpires to relax a little bit, the market gets hard to resolve. So I will ignore such changes and focus on the rules as written and enforced.
This market, unlike the prior one, only applies to the rules as they are in place on opening day until the end of the regular season.

MLB just issued a new set of memos https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/35916318/mlb-making-small-changes-pitch-clock-rules-memo-says
- You get more time if you have to dodge a pitch at head height or take a huge swing or whatever
- Catchers get more time if they are on base or at bat to end an inning
- Pitchers get more time if they have to go run to cover a base
We're still before opening day. Would these rule changes count if the memo had been issued after opening day?
@KevinBurke reading over those rules, none of them seem significant. They all just related to rare/unusual situations w here special leniency is needed around slightly delaying timer starts. They are conventions that I would have assumed were already in the rules, honestly. What does everyone else think?
@CompmanJX3 you think they'll adjust it for opening day and then make no further changes? Man I am on the fence about that!
@StrayClimb I'm surprised they're changing things at all so clearly my insight is questionable. Very curious to the nature of the changes now.
@CompmanJX3 yeah the changes are pretty drastic. Especially the weird interaction and handoffs at 8s between the batter and pitcher. It feels very restrictive, and I'm saying that as someone who has wanted faster games and pitch clocks for years. I hadn't realized they would be regulated right down to the second and multiple motions
