I want to get the calls right too; personally I just think it's silly to have the clock at 15 seconds when there are so many other things that can cause delays.

This is totally random off the top of my head, but I was thinking:

If they extended the 15 seconds to always 20, how much time would that add?

Let's say ~200 pitches on a game. If they added 5 seconds, I would guess on average the pitchers might use 2-3 seconds more of that. 200 pitches x 2.5 seconds = 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Of course, many of those pitches will be thrown with runners on base, so the clock would be longer in those cases anyway.

So this would add, what, maybe 5 or 6 minutes to games? If it lets the announcers finish what they're saying more often, or allows the broadcast to show what the field looks like (notice how they never do that anymore?), or allows me to look away from the TV for a few seconds and not miss a pitch (lol), I'd be in favor of it.
