To all the people who say the game has changed and the old ways don’t work anymore I would like to say this.
You’re wrong!
They have been playing this game for over 150 years with virtually the same rules until Rob Manfred took over.
What has changed unfortunately is that a lot of the people working in baseball didn’t actually play the game.
What has changed is experienced baseball men are systematically being replaced by people who don’t love the game or it’s rich history.
What has changed is that many of the people working in player development have never stepped foot on a field as a professional baseball player but their job is to develop professional baseball players.
What has changed is they have created new STATS that some how are better at evaluating a players value than the STATS that have been used for a century and a half.
What has changed is that the people running the game no longer value the experience and knowledge of former professionals. The commissioner has changed the rules to make the game easier for the best players on the planet because they refuse to make adjustments because they have been convinced that the analytics suggest that they will be more productive if they keep trying to hit the ball hard in the air and that a strike out is just another out.
What has changed is that the commissioner has partnered with gambling entities and he can change the balls being used in MLB games at his discretion with no one to answer to meanwhile the games All Time hit leader is being kept out of the HOF for betting on his team to win.
What has changed is a game that used to be policed by its players and played by an unwritten code has turned into a game where players pimp warning track fly balls, flip bats, take fake selfies and act the opposite of how professionals should act.
What has changed is what was once the ultimate team sport has turned into an individual sport where everyone is only concerned about putting up numbers so they can get paid. Winning is secondary.
Lastly, what has changed is that life long baseball fans and former players can barely watch the game they have loved their entire lives!

Thanks for posting this. I knew there was another page to Kaczynski's manifesto but I had never actually seen it.
