Baseball games are too long
An average baseball game lasts about three hours - too slow - too much dead time. Batters "take" too many pitches - seems that every other guy gets to 3 and 2 before getting on base or making an out.
Suggestions: Batter gets 3 balls - 2 strikes. Umpire controlled time on pitches. Overtime adds a "ball" to batter's count. No exiting from batter's box (emergency only) - step out adds a "strike" to batter's count. Limit warm up pitches. Eliminate 7th inning stretch. Limited mount conferences. Limit replays. Extreme - game with less innings. Perhaps 7 inning games as in softball. More extreme - less time between innings. (commercial time) Other ways to speed up the game?
