MLB has a bad, boring baseball problem that's only getting worse.. has analytics ruined the game?

[Swagnificent]

Sure. Missing 27 straight shots isn't a choke.

Did you not even read what i said? I don't care about that one game. I'm talking about their playing style in general. Even if they hit those shots and won the championship this year, it would still have been bad for basketball.

This 3 point shooting obsession in the NBA right now is destroying the sport.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

i love baseball, you get 6 games a week of your fav team

and unlike the nba these last 2 years there are multiple teams with a shot at the title

i cant believe they havent instituted a pitch clock. 20 seconds max. They were talking about that back in the 90s. Speed the game up

They also need to outlaw chewing tobacco. One of the reasons i stopped watching baseball over 10 yrs ago was all the spitting. Im siuting at home trying to eat i dont wanna watch everyone spitting in between pitches

We also need an official mlb game released simultaneously on all systems, just like 2k. Thats how we stay up on the players, havent played a mlb game since 2012

The issue with a pitch clock is that it’ll get deaded the first time a pitcher gets hurt because he had to rush a 95 mph pitch.

Pitch clock, limit pitching subs might be helpful

NOOOOOOOOOOO

Baseball’s big dilemma is that they wanna increase offense yet speed the game up too. That’s not doable. We’re too far gone. This is the era where you build teams to try to work counts, get on base and exploit matchups. Baseball is a give and take sport. You want the hitters to look good but you want the pitchers to look good too. To fix the problems on the field you gotta fix em at the lower level. But if the end game is to appeal to a bunch of retarded millennial who would rather post themselves on Snapchat with dog ears then it’s not worth it.

That's called a choke.

The playoffs were complete garbage because of the 3 ball

 

[CarltonJunior]

The mound visit limit was a pretty solid addition, but it comes down to the fact that pitching has now dominated the sport at this point.

Everyone's afraid to give hitters an advantage of any sort to make the game more exciting because it will damage the "purity" of the game. Which is fine considering how we've seen that backfire with the NFL coddling QBs

Yeah the playoffs sucked this year. But missing that many shots is unforgivable.

Posted about this in the MLB thread a while ago.

Baseball is trending in a poor direction.

Yea you can't have both I get that but you gotta do something if you want to gain a younger fanbase. Your game can change our attention span ain't, probably only going to get worse.

Not to sound like the bitter old man yelling at clouds, but the younger fanbase is filled with flighty people whose tastes change by the hour. If I said, the only way you can get that bad bytch to notice you is to change your eye color, the shape of your ears, plump your lips up (nh), and get a nose job, you’re not gonna do it because you don’t look like you anymore, and it doesn’t even guarantee that the bad bytch will like you.

If anything the product has taken a hit because they’ve done enough pandering. The players only attempt to go for more home runs because they know fans love that shyt. If you go 1-4 with 3 K’s but a monster HR, you’re Aaron Judge and he runs NY right now


Baseball and the walk/strikeout/HR & basketball and the 3 pointer/dunk is like hip-hop and trap beats

 

[Tate]

I only really watch the nationals but the problem to me is that launch angle shyt. You watch Harper play and he swings like Sosa used to. Dudes either hitting it to the wall, popping up, or striking out. It’s awful to watch and a big part of the reason he gets In these miserable slumps.

Everybody plays for the long ball and walks. A-Rod was talking about this on Sunday night.

 

[CHICAGO]

3 MINUTES & 45 SECONDS IS INSANE.

[The Fukin Prophecy]

This is why they turned a blind eye to juicing...

Offense and homeruns puts asses in seats, not strikeouts...

But when a black man does it better breaking all their records they had to put an end to it...

I gotcha.
I guess that's where you the longtime fan and me the trying to become a fan differ. I don't have a problem with them changing things, I ain't paid attention since Griffey Jr. got in Cincy. But last year's WS and those juiced balls nh got me into it again. I wanna see the HR screw the strikeouts.

 

[Cladyclad]

I kno they will never do this. But the Pitcher should only be allowed to throw to a runner on base 3 times max. I miss stolen bases
