the sentiment on TV today was that this will do nothing to harm baseball because people want to see 100mph pitchers & homeruns hit 500ft.

I guess I'm old school...

I still like to see a good pitcher who may not even hit 90mph go against a batter who forces him to throw 10plus pitches & finally dink one into right center...then the lead-off...& all the things that make up "small ball."

I like to see a pitcher throw junk --- curve, slider, change-up, sinker, etc...& a batter who can fight them off until he gets the pitch he's looking for...

...double plays...diving catches...base stealing...head first slides...squeeze play...

that's baseball...& it's exciting...
