The K-zone is laughably small, and umps are squeezing the zone smaller. The top of it is at about the belly of the average-height hitter, when it should be at the numbers.
I genuinely think the next CBA(I don't really know what's involved in the negotiations) should have a clause that if a pitcher is 6+ innings into a nono or perfect or even some crazy K record, they get to make the call on when they come out of the game. When a pitcher is feeling it LEAVE THEM THE **** IN. It is an awesome feeling when you are locked in, in any sport, let them ride it for the entertainment value which is why fans are paying you monies.
Again, you are in the entertainment biz give fans some nono sweat entertainment. Make it mandatory.
What's wrong with the offense/pitching battle currently? Guys are striking out at a record pace, but runs are still being scored.
Well we have really athletic guys playing the field who have to twiddle their thumbs the entire game. It’s literally a strikeout or HR every at bat, that’s not really exciting to watch.

Not a horrible argument, but I still don't think it is a problem. It does give the idea to pitch a pokemen go night to the local A ball team, if that is still a thing if Hillary didn't kill it.
