Could just be my perception but it's felt like in this World Series so many home runs have been hit. Like almost all the runs scored are from home runs. I stopped watching baseball as much after the Mets broke my heart in 2015 so I haven't been closely following the loaded ball stuff but the game now does feel different. Like huge lead changing homeruns happen much more often and the elite pitchers aren't nearly as untouchable. My peak interest when I watched tons of games was probably 2009-2015 and it seemed like the narrative then was every team trying to have a stable of top tier pitchers who would carry the team to most of their wins single handily
