I think you're spot on with everything you said ... especially the new target audience.  Part of what I've always loved about baseball is strategy.  It's what made the NL better, IMO.  As the strategy continues to shift to using 5 pitchers/game to face batters who either hit HRs or strikeout, they won't lose fans like us ... but I'm not sure how many more they'll gain.  I don't think it's a good business model.  Making the game less-cerebral makes absolutely zero sense to me.

What exactly is this new target audience?

 

The people who can't watch a sports game unless there is scoring every 4 seconds?

 

That audience will never comprehend or appreciate baseball.

That's my guess, Mark.  And I agree.  Everything that was once great about the game will either be gone or go unappreciated/misunderstood.
