It is so hard to watch any game now. WTF have they done to the thing I loved???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think as the season goes on, we'll see more pitchers throwing over the 3rd time. Baserunners are more likely to go and be successful after 2 throws, so why not take the shot at a pickoff?
