MLB is boring these days compared to the past. The defense shifts and these supposedly great modern hitters hit it right into the shift if they even make contact. The Mendoza Line used to be a badge of shame, now it is, "So what? I hit 20+ homers." As a child of the 50's, I remember when it was embarrassing to strike out. Now they strike out often after spending a ludicrous amount of time at the plate. The attitude is an out is an out. But that is very poor baseball. An out moving a runner is of course much more productive over the course of a season.
I used to detest having to go to the men's room during the game; I am old now and go more. But I know I may not even miss one full at bat when I go.
