Poll: have analytics made MLB more enjoyable to watch, in your opinion?* - By brick August 26, 2026 at 03:20:14 PM
- I respect the intelligent decisions franchises and managers (and players) are able to make thanks to analytics. The game becomes more boring with less action on the field, though. - By DoctorD August 26, 2026 at 04:25:10 PM
- None of your answers fit into my category but I do think it is more enjoyable that teams have gotten smarter about how to win. Starting pitching longevity has been the most unfortunate casualty of the movement.* - By mattb August 26, 2026 at 03:32:39 PM
- Do color commentators that hate the modern game make it less enjoyable. Yes, and I'm talking to you John Smoltz. * - By Kevin August 26, 2026 at 03:23:26 PM
  - Billy Packer was the worst at this. (nm) - By GritsGoBlue August 26, 2026 at 03:47:03 PM
    - I hated Billy Packer. Give me Vitale over Packer* - By Rich August 26, 2026 at 04:12:44 PM
      - I'd take Al McGuire over both * - By Spirit August 26, 2026 at 04:21:15 PM
