Rule Changes

They want to change the game to entice a target market that has a three minute attention span at best and is obsessed with digital data. It will never work, baseball is a game for people who enjoy being thoughtfully involved in nine inning (or more) games over the course three to four game series, linked together in a long season. Additionally, the difference between excellence and failure is so thin that betting on the game is problematic. Here is a thought: Stop the emphasis on power hitting and interesting offense will return to the game (no need to move the pitching mound up, down, forward, or back). That will make the game more intriguing to those who are already fans and those relatively few (but still in the millions) of new fans who have an affinity for thought, human interaction, and place their bets on more predictable games, like football.
