I am so GD sick and tired of baseball rules being changed or dumbed down to attract the occasional fan or millennial with the attention span of a flea.

And yeah, the ticket prices are insane. I don’t know how a family affords a day at the ballpark any more.

I’ll stick to my local minor league team if I want to attend a live game.

Why do players think they have to dive headfirst into first base? Will larger bases cure that,I wonder. Or maybe lessen turned ankles?
