Yes it seems like strategies of old just don’t get much play anymore.

You don’t hear much about the Hit and Run play anymore.

You don’t see too many stolen bases anymore.

Yep. Thanks to sabermetrics. So you won't have guys like Rickey Henderson play baseball. He's not allowed to steal bases because you need him on the base so the next guy can hit the home run with him one of the bases already.

So all the games are boring now. If you watch an old game from the '80s, they were actually exciting.
