I agree it's a beautiful sight watch a team execute there game plan with precision, but really what give any game its suspense is the possibility of the sudden explosion of power.
Power must be controlled though and just not thrust out there in a flailing way to constantly hit in to shift.
You need to set up your power, a la  George Forman (45) knocking out Michael Moorer(27).  Everyone new George had power, but in order to use it correctly and win the championship he had to get Moorer to start think about his left hand, when really he was sitting him up for his right.
That's why having a power threat is needed especially in baseball - it's the equalizer.  The M's are attempting to play a precision game this year, but they do not have any power to put fear into the other team.  The opposing pitcher is comfortable know that it will take the M's three hits to score a run, so all he needs to do is throw strikes and let the M's get themselves out.
