The 2021 version of Major League Baseball is underway and unfortunately for baseball fans it's the same boring version of MLB played for, well, too long.

The Royals and Rangers played an afternoon game today won by Kansas City 14-10.  The talking heads at ESPN might try to tell you this is a great start to what might be a spectacular season.  Don't buy into it.  The time of the game was 4 hours and 26 minutes.  Sure, there were a lot of runs scored and a lot of pitching changes, but the game was boring.  It featured 17 walks and 24 strikeouts with three home runs.

Maybe someone somewhere has four and a half  hours to devote to watching these snooze fests.  But, even though I am retired I have many better things to do than watch a bunch of overpaid athletes strike out and walk while swinging for the fences on every pitch.

And MLB  wonders  why its attendance and viewership continue to plummet.
