I always liked the game of baseball but MLB is ruining the game and the fun of watching it. They have turned it into wokeball and turned off the fans.

Eh. Wokeball is not helping but it's whatever to me and most fans like me.

You should watch Moneyball. A great movie with Brad Pitt in it. It's all about Sabrametrics, which has ruined baseball. It's a stupid move to steal a base when the next hitter can hit a home run. So as a result, now there are three true outcomes in baseball, a walk, a home run or a strike out.

And the National League just added the designated hitter. I hate that rule, it disrupts the flow of the game. Plus you take out strategy in the game so you don't really need a manager anymore. And each year, the game gets longer and longer.

More space for commercials which overshadow the game IMO. There’s a flood of ads on radio and TV and even on the field itself.

I’ve seen Moneyball and how it drove player selection. Great movie.
