What makes the game so great is that there is no clock. Games are longer now because of the amount of specialized relief pitchers used. The average was 4 (3.96) pitchers used per team per game last year. Thats the highest it’s ever been. Managers are managing “by the book” with matchups. Starter is asked to go 5 innings then the parade to the bullpen starts to bridge the gap to the closer.
