The game has gotten more boring over time. And I don't see the baseball characters the guys that were famous anymore. Where are the Billy Martins, the Errol Weavers, the guys that stir up s*** lol. Has MLB in its 'wisdom', discouraged this behaviour?
Rickey Henderson was damn exciting to watch. Tim Raines. Manufacturing runs by speed / SBs, the interaction between the baserunner, the catcher, the pitcher and the hitter could be quite intense to watch. Doesn't happen to the same extent.
MLB really needs to find a way to stop the holding back of guys like Vlad, Eloy, etc. 2018 would have been a whole lot more exciting for Jays/Chisox fans if those guys came up midseason and did a Soto. The rise of Soto was one of the big 2018 things, MLB could have had three of those.
Do some more things to speed up the game. Like when a reliever comes in, get rid of the 8 preparatory pitches, already threw plenty of pitches in the bullpen. Just pitch. If a reliever is brought in, must pitch to minimum 3 batters. f*** the reliever for 1 batter, another for 1 batter, etc. Too f'ing slow.
Put some positional controls on the shift, increase offense.
Just some thoughts.
