1st: Can we admit that Kapler is not doing this alone. So sick of everyone acting like Kapler is some rogue cowboy. He”s not, he doing exactly what he was hired to do. the front office is behind this 100% and they should be because the rest of baseball figured this out 10 years ago. The Phillies have been a joke because they refused to accept that every single team that has gone all-in with analytics and had the money spend (which the Phillies do) has won a world series. 2nd: games are longer because of TV commercials. more so than ANYTNHING else. You want to speed up the game, adopt the soccer approach of no commercials, except maybe during the 7th inning stretch. 3rd: kids are not going to “fall asleep playing video games, but they are a major reason that attendance and interest in general is down across ALL sports. And not just for kids, adults too, and not just sports, the movie industry is also feeling the loss in revenue.
