The more the players are paid, the more they are are pampered as a way for the clubs to protect their investments.
It has detracted from the game imo.

For sure!
It's gotten so ridiculous that this year numerous times this year, I have seen pitchers sailing along through 4 shutout innings, only to be yanked by their managers before they could pitch the 5th inning ...... thus they could not register a WIN for themselves. ABSURD!
NOW GET THIS ............... WITH LAST NIGHT'S RAINOUT THERE WILL BE YANKEES/ASTROS FOUR DAYS IN A ROW.
The horrors!! Pitching coaches and managers will be having strokes. (Warm up that shortstop quick!)
