MLB’s rule changes have made for a quicker game, but has it made for a more entertaining one?

Forget about pitch clocks or limiting shifts or enlarging bases. Perhaps all that the commissioner’s office needs to juice offensive numbers is to have the Yankees find their inner Bronx Bombers.

Over the last two games in Milwaukee over the weekend, the Yankees scored 30 runs while hitting .420 with seven homers.

That, in combination with the Twins also going off on Saturday and Sunday — .420 average, 27 runs — helped raise the entire MLB batting average nearly 1 ½ points in 48 hours to .241 and increase run scoring nearly a tenth of point from 4.35 to 4.41 per team per game.

But here is the problem — that was like raising your grade point average from 1.1 to 1.2. It’s better, but certainly not where desired.
