I do think the modern game is a problem. The primary reason for saying that is fine that many hardcore baseball people find the modern game lacking, it is long and slow, to be honest it lacks action as well. The lack of competitive teams is also a problem but I think it has always been and don't think that will ever change. As a business owner if you look at the NFL model you should find a better way to try and copy or at least borrow from it. I don't think baseball does a real good job of that.
I still love the game as no doubt most everyone here does but when I listen to people both hard core fans and casual ones my gut tells me the game is going the wrong way.
