The biggest thing I am against is mixing up the leagues even more.
I want to keep as many original NL teams in the NL as possible (and same for AL).
I agree. I basically put TB in the NL and either Arizona or Rockies into the American. It might not be as "weird" for them to change because of their (relatively) short histories. I think they fit better geographically, but a sick part of me deep inside also wants to see what happen with Colorado as an AL stadium.

I would also like the DH across all leagues
Also, balls and strikes called electronically
a salary floor at 110 and a cap at 210.
And one free beer / beverage per game comes with each ticket. Because why not try?
I'm really for the electronic strike zone. I believe it would revolutionize baseball, and get rid of ump prejudices and totally realign teams. So many hi profile pitchers get calls that rookies don't get and that's just wrong.
They should do the electronic strike zone and not tell anyone. They can put an earpiece in and have someone tell them. The Umpire is still needed for calls at the plate and to signal the actual pitch.
Replays, electronic Kzone! No! I'm too set in my ways as an Old Fart!
If you are going to go that far then why no spend bucks perfection robotics and just have robotic players that don't get hurt and will not bitch and moan if they play or not.
Of course that would take the fun out of going to a ball game with the kids and/or grandkids.
The game has worked so well without all this technology for so long why fix it if it ain't broken? But you youngsters so influence by tech and instant communication will not settle with that. Alas, how much fun you are missing by keeping it the old way.
I don't think it would revolutionize the game, it would further improve and purify the game. If it revolutionized the game, that just means the game is filled with a bunch of garbage calls that ruin the current game!
It would eliminate trying to put value on pitch framing catchers, which is clearly an imperfect metric in itself.
It would eliminate hotheads like Cole going on tilt because he got pinched. It would eliminate a power hitter sitting on a 2-1 count instead of a 1-2 count, which changes the whole AB.
Electronic strike zones can't happen soon enough imo.
Catcher visits to the mound are the worst. Some (Molina) really get out of control. They should charge an "official visit to the mound" every time a catcher visits. That would make the game go faster. One of many ways.
