Rule Change! Third-to-first fake pickoff is now officially a balk

Rule Change in Baseball...

What do baseball fans think? I would rather see more of technology, like instant replay, being used than these meaningless rules... It may speed the game a little bit, but who really cares. Its a slow game to begin with.

I would rather get them right with instant replay than just go with their judgement. NBA uses it. NFL uses it..

Its about damn time..

I have to wonder if any pitchers will work on a move to  fake to third then actually throw to first?

Not saying I'm in favor of that just wondering.

As I see it, the situation you refer to would now have to go something like this:

Pitcher is on the rubber; then quickly steps off the rubber; fakes a throw to 3rd; then delivers to 1st.

Not sure this even has a remote chance of working; since all base runners would have an instinctual tendancy to return to the base once a pitcher steps off the rubber.
