I try not to look through rose tinted, nostalgia glasses (especially for times that I wasn't alive for, is there such a word for that?) however, one has to miss the simplicity and length of baseball games from years passed.
I understand things change, but the length of the game has to correlate to the amount of relief pitchers that are being used now. Combine that with hitters still stepping out of the box in a consistent manner. All of it adds up. The pitch clock they want to introduce seems to make things a little better in the minors, lets hope it translates to the bigs.
All that being said I'd kill for pitchers to go the distance on a consistent basis. We see it very rarely nowadays.
