Exactly! this is the first time I have said this out loud but I am really starting to lose some interest (maybe 10% so far) in watching today's game. Ks or HRs , Ks or HRs...and man oh man the Ks are really really piling up this year.
Thanks to bio-mechanics, hi tech video/teaching, funneling talented kids into one sport only etc, pitching is now clearly ahead, but hitters know HRs put you in the majors and keep you there so they don't adjust their swings and for this fan it is getting less interesting.
I hate the IF shift, go ahead and try something different, but it will take more than that to bring back the watch-ability of on field play to the level it was yrs ago
