The more changes that are made to baseball the less the game will remain  a true sport. It will eventually disappear and become a distant memory. This is very evident in the game of today. Baseball has lost its luster. Steroids tarnish records, the DH rule is a disaster, Free agency is destroying baseball, Pitch counts are garbage,( Closers should only be used when the starting pitcher gets into trouble.) The CG has gone by the wayside as Documented by Tiger Pitching stars  of the past:Frank Lary, Jim Bunning, Denny Mclain, Mickey Lolich, Jack Morris and last but not least, Mark Fidrych…Players are swinging from their heels going for the fences…Fielding is a lost art..As a traditionalist,  Baseball has to stop making changes or cease to exist. The Tigers won two out of three from Seattle. Yesterday, Jackson was impressive. Leyland pulled Jackson too early he had a CG in the bag. Today a promising young pitcher beat Seattle and pulled after 7 innings. I agree with Leyland. You should protect young arms. Josh Anderson stole another base and had two hits. He is batting over .300…Santiago is a super sub..He had another stellar game…He had 5 RBI in the win today and he is batting above .320.
