Just to review...

I wrote something like this last year, I think, but just to review and update:

Things fans think are wrong with major-league baseball (in no particular order):

—Games are too way too slow.

—Games are monotonous, reduced to endless home runs, strikeouts, and walks.

—Teams refuse to bunt or hit to the opposite field to thwart rally-killing defensive shifts.

—Too many pitching changes.

—Rampant cheating by players, first through juicing and now through electronic means.

—Ticket prices are way too high.

—The price of food, drink, and souvenirs at the ballpark are way too high.

—Excessively loud music and ads between innings and during any stoppage in play make it impossible to talk or even hear oneself think.

What MLB has proposed to do about that this off-season:

—Force every pitcher to face at least three batters.

—Eliminate most of the minor leagues.

—Add another layer of playoffs, complete with four more teams and a ridiculous, reality-TV element.

—Add another player to every roster.

Yeah, they are right on it.
