Under Rob Manfred, the game has become interminable, frustrating in its analytics-guided play, and so frustrating, abetted by ridiculous umpiring — especially behind the plate
America’s Pastime is on the verge of being past time. Through every fault of its own.There seems to be some CPR being performed. But is it too late?But Major League Baseball is 0-for-2, behind in the count, behind in the curve, behind in the game, bottom of the ninth, bases empty — and facing Sandy Koufax.
Under Manfred, the game has become interminable, frustrating in its analytics-guided play, and so frustrating, abetted by ridiculous umpiring — especially behind the plate. The worst thing baseball has come up with, The Dreaded Shift, will be eliminated in 2023, when there must be at least two infielders on each side of second base.
