Baseball when players are on the bases is incredibly compelling. Baseball as it is currently being played is incredibly boring.
Look at the All-Star game. Supposed to be a fun game. 25 strikeouts. 10 Home Runs. It was the most boring extra inning game I’ve ever seen. It was the perfect embodiment of baseball today. Something needs to change.
No. That's like saying Golf is only compelling when Golfers are on the green. PGA needs to move closer to Putt Putt
When your team is Pitching well it's incredibly compelling. When your team isn't hitting, it sucks.
Should MLB play more like a Beer Softball League in order to generate offense?
1. Cut down replays. The reality is people aren't tuning out because of Mound Visits at the end of games that are close. And Mound visits aren't being used a lot when it's a blow out. But replay is only being used for stolen bags innings, and the occasional home run or close play at first. But play is stopped by the dug out multiple times a game.
2. Black outs. Thats a huge problem. Particularly because people are leaving Cable/Satellite for apps. But living 6 hours away from where a game is being played, but still black out... we need less hurdles to jump thru in order to watch.
3. Pressure teams to not tank seasons. Take away draft picks. Tax money spent if under 100 million or something.
