subtly has slowly been drummed out of America's consciousness. Sports. Business. Politics. Social interaction.

Home runs make great headlines and home run calls make great sound bites.

The Guardians are refreshingly honest about their lack of power and stress speed and base running acumen. But that requires high on-base percentage, productive outs, and timely sacrifices, something they haven't quite mastered. Another thing: it works for the season but not always in a best of three or best of five playoff.
