Baseball brings out all sorts of emotions. At present I have had enough of the market manipulations to increase profits in which MLB has indulged. There are three divisions instead of two just to string out the post season, no other good reason. The wild card team. Cut me a break. No team that plays 162 games and comes in second deserves a shot at the World Series. Interleague play. That's the whole point of the World Series. I don't want to see a National League team until they face one of the best the AL has to offer in October and not in f***ing November. A free runner on second base in the 10th inning. Are you sh***ing me? Play the 16, 17. 18, or 20 innings or whatever it takes to complete the game. It requires a hit to get on base or at least a walk or a balk.

For me, the last straw has been the pitch clock and banning the infield shift. The heart of the game is the duel between the pitcher and the batter, everything else is ancillary. So, now you want to dilute that because the modern fan has the attention span of a TikTok video. F*** Off. I'd rather watch test match cricket. At least it hasn't been debased, although I do have to admit that 20 Twenty is a pretty good innovation.
