[P.O.E.]

Had to look that up.

For one, players back in the day weren’t the honed machines they are now, so you’ve got power at the plate and the mound. Second, sabermetrics (I call it pro-fantasy ball) has resulted in self-fulfilling prophesies, as the statistically-determined managerial moves crowd out other choices.

So yeah, not the baseball of yore, which I miss.

That makes baseball boring. So the Comissioner needs to have rule changes to put the ball in play more and make it more fun to watch. Like old school baseball.

Pitch clock is an improvement.

Now they need to limit pitching changes. They need to find other ways. But maybe there's a limit to that like you said. They're much better athletes compared to ball players from a couple decades ago. So that makes the game more boring for us to watch.
