NEW YORK, NY – I went into the Dollar Tree store the other day and was surprised at the register when the dollar products, which were raised a buck and a quarter, were now a buck and two quarters. What Dollar Tree is doing to the consumer is what MLB is doing to its fanbase.
Since that wuss of a commissioner has been in office, he’s been pulling the wool over the eyes of not only its fans but the games’ tradition. The rules of which he approved of, have made this once great game a complete joke.
Turning the bases larger, having a three times pickoff limit and making a reliever face three batters are just a few of the changes. The time clock and instant replay review, along with the phantom runner in extra innings have turned this sport into an AI event.
Stats like WAR, WHIP, OPS and the ignorance of wins for a starting pitcher and “batting average doesn’t matter“ are a total insult to the Tom Seaver’s, Bob Gibson’s, Rod Carew’s, Tony Gwynn’s and every pioneer who played the game. ANALytics was shoved down our throats by geeks who don’t know the difference between a baseball and their own balls.
The latest change that’s coming to a ballpark near you is Robo Umps. It’s another way to tell the Men in Blue that they simply suck! It’s only a matter of time that MLB will replace the scrubs, who portray themselves as players, with Robo batters and pitchers.
With the decline of the .300 hitter, am I asking for too much if I suggest to that wuss of a commissioner to allow aluminum bats to be swung?
