My solution is to record any game I want to watch on my DVR, wait at least an hour, then fast forward through the commercials, pitching changes and a lot of the mound visits. These are the 3 things that have made the games so much longer, with virtually every game being televised. Commercials, of course, aren't going anywhere, nor are all the pitching changes. But if you fast forward through them, you can cut 40-50 minutes off the time of the game. Let those who like commercials watch them--my wife actually does, primarily because she used to be in marketing--but I do not.
Just the way I do it,
Larry
