Example: Ratings are down therefore the rules change to lower the mound or shrink the strikezone. Batting average increases so that runs increase and millennial start watching. So in 2065, Bryce Harper Jr retires with a lifetime .402 batting average.

If we are going to bash the younger generations and their attention span I think the number of complete games will shoot back up when they decide to reduce the game to 6 or 7 innings...

What is the record for consecutive games striking out? Aaron Judge is up to 30. I bet the guy who bought his first game jersey for $160,000 is happy as hell. 🤑

36 is the record, held by Adam Dunn.

Playing a lot of fantasy baseball, I love it when my competitor's players go compete in the AS Home Run Derby. It messes up so many swings where it takes months to regain the form. A couple years ago it was Todd Fraiser who got messed up. There are always exceptions like Stanton who is literally a hitting monster, but for the other mortals (like Judge) , you might not see him regain form u til next year now. Most likely will cost the Yankees a playoff birth too.

As a baseball fan it'd certainly be better to see Mike Trout in the playoffs.

I guess making the semi finals is OK (Cody Bellinger)

Is it the younger generation with shorter attention spans? I seem to recall Selig and Manfred instituting the changes. They're not part of my generation.
