   Baseball is garbage now!!   
      
   Home runs and strike outs....that's it!!   
      
   No bunts, no steals, no hit and runs, no hitting behind the runners, no   
   squeezes.   
      
   The inner game is dead.   
      
   How to fix it?   
      
   1- Take the juice out of the ball( which is obvious) not to mention the   
   player( which is still extant but accepted)   
      
   2- Any pitch delivered over 95 mph is adjudged an automatic ball (added   
   benefit here is a huge decrease in Tommy John surgeries)   
      
   3- Take every analytic and sabermetric text ever written and subject it to 451   
   farenheit extinguishment!!   
      
   4- Cut the price on those goofily exorbitant concessions!!   
      
   5- Keep women out of the broadcast booth!!   
      
   This will fix things, baby!!
