Baseball had its worst attendance in 16 years

27. I do too, but...

I still love to see quality fundamental baseball, moving runners, being aggressive on the base paths instead of waiting around for the homer.

And while everyone is in love with 100MPH velo and 15 strike outs, I tell you who I enjoyed watching pitch this year? Guys like John Means, Alex Young, Zach Grienke, none of which with overpowering stuff, but all 3 are artists on the mound. I find myself enjoying guys throw 80 pitchers over 7 innings while giving up 4 hits and a run. Efficiency these pitchers give you move the game faster and puts the ball in play more, in short, it's just a better product.

Compare that to watching a guy like Robbie Ray pitch. He's dynamic as a talent, but it may take him 2 hours to get to the 5th inning and while he likely will have 10+ strikeouts, he'll also have his share of deep counts, walks and wild pitchers, slowing the game down to a boring pace.
