For me it is the pace of play, shifts, analytics and the lack of base runners. That and the endless parade of relievers.

In HS the ump would be all over you like angry cloud if you spend more that two seconds out of the box between pitches. College, in the 70's, was the same.

Now it is like scene changes between acts of an off-Broadway play...between f'ing pitches.

I can't do it. A friend of mine's daughter works for the Yankees as an advanced metrics person. The amount of data they have on every player, in the bigs, the littles, college, etc. is really mind boggling. She asks once a year what ticket to Yankee Stadium I want (and the seats are good) and I never take any. Mind numbing stuff.

I remember watching the Cardinals in the World Series in grade school during class on the old b&w TV's on the rolling stands...the games were that big.

Not anymore.
