Saying Tony Gwynn, Rod Carew, Wade Boggs and Ichiro "couldn't exist" in today's game is all that's needed to know that Kirk watches 8 seconds of baseball per year.
They'd all be all-stars then and now.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Where did the athletic ability go?
Clutch hitting in the 8th and 9th inning?
Starting pitching that goes 8 or 9 innings?
Base stealing-hell just good base running and SPEED?!?
Sac bunts-moving runners over late in a game?
Where’s Tony Gwynn? Rod Carew?
Wade Boggs? Ichiro?
Those guys wouldn’t exist in today’s ridiculous HR or K “launch angle” game!
The game has been dying with the youth of America for YEARS and now is losing the core fanbase as well with this ridiculous product we’ve had to digest for the last 7-10 years.
Bring back Small Ball and athleticism…this shit dreadful!!!
Any power conference team that gets one of these extra at-large spots is a Mickey Mouse tournament team.
Any mid-major that gets one of these spots deserves it.
