After Football
The New Ballgame by Russell A. Carleton
If you loved Football's contrarian brilliance—holding the tension between tactical evolution and cultural decline—The New Ballgame does the same for baseball's rule revolution. Pitch clocks, shift bans, and bullpen math dissected with Klosterman-level skepticism, then zoomed out to ask whether optimization is killing the spectacle it was meant to save. Adult, testable, bracingly honest about where the game is heading.
