Tighter strike zones sounds like a good idea - more offense - but I think in reality, it would be a terrible idea.
A smaller strike zone means more balls, more walks, starters not lasting as long, more bullpen pitchers, and more time waiting for pitching changes.
In other words, a game that already goes north of 3 hours most days, and north of 4 hours fairly often, would actually slow down and play significantly longer.
No thank you.
