re: The bats, balls and ATP are an issue and are being addressed

These are not pitchers duals. That is what people are missing. I love a pitchers dual as well. Nola vs. Gray was a classic. But to have a true pitchers / defense dual - the threat of a home run must at least loom. That is what keeps your heart rate up during a pitching dual. If you get in a park where you take away that threat it makes average pitchers good and good pitchers great. They are not worried at all about power. That takes away one of fundamental elements of baseball. Hitting for power. All 5 tools should have a chance to excel.

The CWS was garbage.

It's like Gonzaga getting to final four vs. a group of beasts down low and taking away the three pointer. You don't just say you should adapt. You have taken away a fundamental part of the game. It's simply bogus and unwatchable.
