It'd be more understandable if it was necessary, but it really isn't. I don't see any reason that games couldn't average 2 hours.

People have HDTVs and CGI at their disposal now. Run unobtrusive ads during the game, and shorten the time between half innings. Pitchers hurry the fuck up. Batters, stay in the got damn box and swing. It really wouldn't even take that long to get used to.

You shorten between half inning breaks (tv breaks) and games would all be around 2 hours. (nm) - musubi Jun 8, 10:24
I sort of agree, The games needs to be sped up but I don't like the idea of a pitch clock. Some guys take - Krusty Jun 8, 10:08 6

    - I'm a big fan of if the pitch isn't delivered, call a ball. if the batter's not ready, call a strike. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:27 2
      - I think a pitcher should be given a reasonable ammount of leeway on when he wants to pitch. - musubi Jun 8, 10:29 1
        
        I agree with this. -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 10:32
