We actually haven't arrived at a bad place: 170 lb slap hitters aren't hitting 30 bombs, and games are frequently flying by in fewer than 2.5 hours. K's are also down, so there are more balls in play. This has actually been really good baseball, in a vacuum. The best in awhile.
It's just bush league to keep changing the ball every year (and sometimes mid-year) and significantly changing the the way the game is played.
