Friedl and Encarnacion-Strand: Future of the Reds? 

Is anyone else noticing a trend of shorter highlight reels this season? The Diamondbacks vs. Reds game, clocking in at a mere 43 seconds, makes me wonder if were losing something in the quick-cut era. Are these bite-sized highlights enough to truly capture the essence of a game or are we sacrificing narrative and context for instant gratification? Does this push us towards checking box scores instead of experiencing the ebb and flow of a full game? I feel like this could impact fan engagement in the long run. What are your thoughts? Furthermore, with so much emphasis on individual highlights, are we at risk of undervaluing team dynamics and strategic play? I predict this trend will lead to an even greater emphasis on offensive fireworks over nuanced baseball strategy. Discuss.
