I wish the armbands were banned. Teach the girls signals. Let catchers call games. They can learn.

I'm all for teaching a catcher to call a game, but there's no reasonable, logical explanation for why a team should use convoluted signals over wristbands on offense. Wristbands result in fewer missed signals. They speed up the game. They're much, much better.
Would like for it to be where you cant yell out numbers. In college, they use a system where the play can be called out with a series of numbers using 1 hand. When coaches from each team are yelling out 3 and 4 digit numbers, it just feels funny. Batter steps out and sees the signal while catcher and pitcher see their signal. Quick and easy. It's not the wristbands that slow things down. It's how the coaches manage it that does.
