Definitely got a good chuckle reading some of these. My genuine opinions on how to fix, how fast an at bat goes is to limit the amount of times a player is allowed to step out of the batters box. Something along the lines of:

Excluding injury, a batter is only allowed to step out of the box once per at bat. First offense of this is accompanied by a warning from the umpire, second offense is a monetary fine. If the batter continues to do this throughout the course of the game, the fine increases.

I was toying with the idea of "adding a strike to the count" but I feel that is unfair, and purists would hate that, which I totally understand.
