Rod is right and also wrong. The game can be slow. But that’s not because guys aren’t sacrificing or playing the same strategy that was gospel truth three decades ago. A good deal of what Rod and his generation believed - sacrificing bunting — has been pretty clearly shown not to be optimal strategy to win ballgames with the skill sets players have today. None of that stuff is affecting time of play.
It’s a different game. Would love to know how many times the Dodger or Yankees have sacrificed bunted their ways to the impressive win totals they have.
I do hate all the chatter on exit velocities and launch angles.
