2677077, Unfortunately, this is now baseball
Posted by The Real, Mon Oct-29-18 08:53 AM
Back in the 70s and 80s Earl Weaver was an outlier when his philosophy was "live and die" by the three-run homer.
Now this is life. Everything is about launch angles and playing long ball. This evolution has been met with starters only going four innings and bringing in pitcher-after-pitcher that throws 95+.
It's made the games longer and boring. You can go innings now without seeing a ball put into play.
