How do Dodgers fans feel about the runner on 2B in extra innings, and the ‘deadened’ baseball?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Each week, we send out questions to the most plugged-in Los Angeles Dodgers fans, and fans across the country. Sign up here to join Reacts.

According to the latest SB Nation Reacts survey, 98 percent of Dodgers fans are confident the team is headed in the right direction. That’s down from a full 100 percent last week, but a return to form at the start of the year.

A part of any fan’s confidence in the team is based on how well the team can get outs. Dodgers fans have a high level of confidence in the team’s defense.

Defenses around the league are dealing with a couple of changes this season. One that theoretically should help while the other makes things more difficult.

After a few years of rising home run totals, the league reportedly made a change to deaden the baseballs used in games. However, if this has happened, fans haven’t yet noticed.

One undeniable change is a carry-over from last season when MLB decided to start each extra-inning with a runner on second base. The rule was implemented to increase scoring in extra innings and ideally prevent them from going into multiple extra innings.

While there is no doubt fans have taken notice of this change, it doesn’t mean they like what they see.
