I'm glad baseball is speeding up the game because I think it will improve play but I think baseball should stop agonizing over people that don't like baseball anymore not watching it.

Specifically trying to lure people that like other sports into liking baseball.

It's a sport that values tradition and its history. Part o that history is not turning it into a carnival act for people that don't appreciate the game as much as they did and trying to change the game so more people will tune in.

Baseball could solve a lot of this by doing a better job of showcasing its players.

And that's not a shot at you at all. Just sayin
