Yeah, baseball is in a pickle.
Looking back on it, it seems logical that baseball would have been reduced to this but I'm not sure where the game goes from here. The game needs less strikeouts and more balls in play. I'm not sure how they accomplish that without starting to mess with sacred things like moving the mound back. I'm not a purist but I think 60 feet 6 inches is one thing you don't change.
I miss base stealing, doubles, triples, etc. The game needs more action. 100 mph relievers were a novelty back in the day, they're a dime a dozen now.
