Orioles legend just put modern baseball players on blast (and he may be right)

Many of the attacks on the modern game of baseball from traditionalists are pretty silly. The sheer number of people who advocate for sacrifice bunts when pitchers are throwing 98+ mph is wild, and it has long since been shown that stats like wins, saves, and quality starts are pretty silly. However, when Baltimore Orioles legend Eddie Murray took modern baseball players to task recently in an interview, it was a bit different from the usual 'old man yells at clouds' stuff.

Murray's resume as a player is completely unimpeachable. Over his 21-season career, he had over 3,200 hits and over 500 home runs en route to his induction into the Hall of Fame.
