It was a bit of culture shock for me. I was used to the high, hard slides into second base to break up a double play, and tooth-jarring collisions as the runner slid into home.
I think that eliminating those plays that can lead to serious injuries is good for the game, but I thought the flagrant call was a bit much.
And the pitch clock and automatic balls were new to me. I am not sure they are improvemnts. The game is still pretty slow.
