Is the ball "juiced"? And does it need to be fixed.

Agree,

I don't like where the game is going.....at all ! They say they want to speed the game up but about all they've done is make the game more boring. You rarely see hit and run, base stealing is few and far between, squeeze plays and so on. 

The game, to me anyways, gets a little more boring every year. Like you say I don't want to watch home run derbys ! Four hits by team A and three solo home runs, three hits by team B and two solo home runs. Final score 3-2 with 25 combined K's 10 walks, batting average for the game of .125 Doing that fast doesn't make it fun to watch.
