I grew up a Yankee fan, but I switched to the Rays in recent years.
I’ve always watched quite a bit of Mets games originally living pretty close to the stadium.
The new rules fixed a lot of problems the game had, but challenging balls and strikes needed to be implemented full time or at least the playoffs.
Those new bats seem pretty sketchy; reminds me of those banned tennis rackets I’ve heard of in the 70’s.
