I liked Bobby Bonds

I did too, when he played for the Sox.

Probably a lot of reasons for this, but I would submit:

The use of specialist relievers that throw freaking gas now. Nobody comes out of a bullpen throwing less than 97 these days.

Hardly any starters face a guy for the 4th time, hell, barely 3 these days. Instead of a dead arm junk throwing starter that has nothing left, they bring in the pen. Anybody remember the HDH the Royals employed in '14? Kevin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland. They hardly ever lost if they were up after 6 innings.

The change from small-ball to swinging for the fences.

I assume this is by far the biggest reason, and I'm not a fan.

I don't think pitchers are much better these daze
