I’m a huge baseball fan and love learning baseball history. I’ve heard about this. I was born in 80 so disco was passé by the time I grew up but I was always retro and I actually like disco music. But that backlash is impressive
Pitch clock: Blame the players who keep stepping out of the box between pitches, adjusting their gloves and helmets, dilly-dallying in all sorts of ways, AND the umpires for letting them do it instead of enforcing Rules 8.04 and 6.02b, which were already on the books and gives the umpire the power to keep things moving.
"Some bullshit gadget": Blame Angel Hernandez. The one-man argument for robo-umps. Did you know he once sued MLB claiming they were being racist against him for not letting him ump playoff games? No, it's because you SUCK, Hernandez.

Fitting name, because baseball hasn't existed since the National League adopted the designated shitter, which is not baseball.
Same for the extra-innings runner, which is not baseball.
Not to mention the pitch clock and the fact that home plate umpires will be replaced by video or some such bullshit gadget.
I think I'm the only guy at work who thinks this is bull. Makes the game go too fast if you ask me.
