Hate quoting myself, but after posting this yesterday, I saw this today on the web. Maybe managers and players ARE getting a little frustrated with the change.

MLB inserted IR into the game and created another sceniaro to use it, with this new definition of "catch".

Sometimes change for the sake of change, just doesn't work. Glad to see common sense prevail.

While I'm glad for the reversion to the letter of the law regarding a catch, I'm not inclined to fawn over MLB officials the way the media are doing. MLB brass didn't do anything particularly smart; they just decided to stop being stupid.
