Baseball is fucking boring.
There, I said it.
The most boring sport in the world to watch except for curling. And golf. And cricket.
Baseball is the fourth most boring sport in the world.
It is now.
Home run, walk, strikeout. The Three True Outcomes.
That is what baseball has devolved into.
Kyle Schwarber struck out over two dozen more times this one season than Tony Gwynn did in the 1990s. The ENTIRE 1990s.
Kyle Schwarber hit .197 this past year. But he hit 47 homers, so the analytics eggheads think he's a good hitter.
And the general public LOVES THIS and wants to see MORE of it. Attendance and TV ratings have shot up this year.
And that's not even getting into the wokeness.
Fuck modern baseball.
Admit it. You just miss the steroids era.
Actually, I miss the '80s, where they just put the ball in play and few players hit 50 homers in a season.
Gary Sheffield Jr., son of the 9-time All-Star, agrees with me.
