It's a contrast - the 'younger generation' wants the action of the home run.... Yet don't want to sit around and wait and watch the byproduct of living by the long ball - more strikeouts, less "other action" such as stolen bases, sac bunts, hit and runs, etc.
This is becoming a lost season that had so much potential. Nothing left to do except keep playing, realize it's a long season, the breaks will start falling our way, and these guys have a lot of talent.
The Twins just lost 2 of 3 to the Royals and that is what they deserved. It is hard to be optimistic in this moment. Sweeping the Cleveland baseball is a must, winning 3 of 4 required.
The amount of strikeouts is sickening and boring. Everybody loves the home runs. It just seems MLB becomes more like beer league slow pitch softball With the lack of other interesting plays that are not HRs. I wonder how a team like the 1980s Cardinals would perform in today's climate.
The Yankees are better than the Twins. It's a good thing today's game is an afternoon game - easier to avoid watching another train wreck on top of a car crash.
That game was a major disappointment made almost unbearable by those national announcers drooling all over the Cleveland baseball team and how great Lindor and Kluber are.
