+1 Big time! A lot of the new rules I have no use for, but my gosh have they made this a better game to watch with the pitch clock. Takes me back to the two hour games of my youth. My Mom, a refined and mild-mannered lady, became a huge baseball fan in her latter years, and she would yell at the TV, "Throw the ball!" I've always said it's not the length of the games, it's the pace. Me and my buddies used to love Sunday doubleheaders in the bleachers (75 cents!) at Griffith Stadium, and I'll bet we were out no more than six hours including round trip on the bus and streetcar. And man, did we love extra-inning games, the longer the better.
