I agree the game has deteriorated. Perhaps part of it is expansion. Fundamentals of most teams are subpar....everyone wants to rely on the homer and big inning, Where are the great base stealers.....the catchers that nail ya time after time, Dont like all the big shifts....which simply underscores hitters ability to take it the other way.
Goose Gossage: ‘It’s like the Democrats are running baseball’
* “Guys used to steal signs all the time. Robin Yount and Paul Molitor were a couple of the best at stealing signs from second base, and (catcher Thurman) Munson comes out one day and says, ‘I think they’re stealing our signs.’ I said, ‘Oh, okay.’ Munson runs back, he didn’t even say anything, we knew what to do. He called a breaking ball and I threw a fastball under Robin Yount’s chin, and I think he saw his life flash before his eyes.’’
