I read the article and didn’t come up with that at all
Did you land on improper all-star voting processes?
I didnt read the piece either but Deadspin linked it and said that's what it was about. Deadspin and Jezebel are the 2 websites i go to almost every day for my dose of crying about everything.
Do you know how far Major League Baseball has fallen as a credible sports organization? Just a few weeks ago, a report came out offering evidence that MLB had been using different types of balls throughout the season to promote certain narratives. Heavier balls that would fly further off the bat were often used in Yankees games so that Aaron Judge would have an easier time chasing the American League home run crown. Dead balls were used more often in games that were supposed to promote stellar pitching matchups. If this type of information came out about any other league, the public would be up in arms, demanding an explanation, but NOBODY cares! Major League Baseball, year after year, time after time, has been caught in scandal after scandal, offers some half-witted apology, and then continues hoping everything gets swept under the rug. It has become exhausting and not even the diehard baseball fans can defend the league much longer.
Overall, I think I like the new rules. I understand the traditionalists that say it's changed the game too much, but something had to be done to make baseball more appealing to the masses and SHORTEN the games.

I don't think this will impact the popularity in either direction, frankly.
Fixing the blackout rules will help tremendously.
