Most of these changes are gimmicky, that's why I don't like it. Pitch clock works, because it forces the hitters into the batter's box. But if you cut commercial times in half, you'd get the same result, but heaven forbid we cut down on advertising. Ghost runner on 2nd is bullshit. It's minor league. But I guess some people like it. Limiting relievers is kinda dumb, but whatever, I'm not gonna go crazy on that. It does get a little silly watching managers trot out 5 relievers in one inning all in the name of "strategy".

You don't like baseball as it is? Don't watch. Nobody's got a gun to your head. But when does it end? How about a pitching "golden AB"? Hmmm, bases are loaded, and I don't wanna pitch to your best hitter. TIMEOUT! I want Captain Limpwrist at the plate! There's nothing wrong with baseball. The game has been drawing more fans for years. It's just not good tv, that's its biggest problem, and there's kinda no way to fix that due to it being such a unique game.

Because I love the Kansas City Royals.

Bring on the metal bats. I wanna see dingers, too. We got rid of the NL DH too and good riddance. Almost every change they've made to baseball in the last 10 years has improved the sport.
