I'm not sure about of many of your facts (only two pitchers?), but I do agree that the drama is missing in today's game. One thing that MLB can do, and they have been trying to address recently, is trying to get players to be more expressive during games. For years, the culture of baseball has promoted a certain behavior that goes against today's social trends. For example, after you hit a home run, it hasn't been considered acceptable for a player to be overly expressive immediately after hitting the home run (watch the ball, flip the bat, etc), as its been seen as embarrassing to the pitcher. Honestly, today's fans want to see it, and the apparent conflict that results between the pitcher and batter brings more interest to the game.
