saying that shortening the length of a game from 3:10 to 2:45 is simplifying the argument. watch an inning that suter pitches. it's paced, easy to follow, etc. watch a guy like greinke pitch. shaking off, doing.....whatever it is he does on the mound. Craig Kimbrel with his hawk stance. theres a lot of gamesmanship and stuff with all that. game within the game, disrupting timing, blah blah blah, but it's boring. ignoring the fact that baseball is boring for all but the most hardcore fans is a dangerous path to walk down. you can speed up the game by simply make the guys play, and not with all these dumb and silly rule changes that have accomplished nothing. watching Ryan Braun step out of the box after watching a ball low and outside, and pick up some dirt, take 3 practice swings, unstrap and strap his gloves, flex. take a deep breath, and adjust his jersey after EVERY. PITCH. was boring. it's not just taking 15 minutes off the game, it's telling the batter to stay in the box, pitchers to pitch and let's play some ball. If the game still takes 2 45, so be it.
