Baseball games are too long

[jerrys]

I directly related the term "too long" to “too much dead time” (no action). Some suggest watching the game from the third inning or leave the game early to avoid traffic or don't watch or not my sport or watch it recorded to fast forward, etc. These "suggestions" have nothing whatever to do with the time wasted on the field by the players during the game. These instances are additive and significantly increase the time of the game. If the game is continuous action the time is not important.

These players have played the game most of lives and are the best at what they do. All I suggested are simple rules that should break players of time wasting habits and ways to generate quicker batter action.

I thought "between innings" as being more extreme was obvious - no commercials - no televised games.

Those whom don't like baseball aren't going to become baseball fans because a game is 5-20 minutes shorter.

The MLB needs to quite trying to cower to the non-baseball fans, or they're going to have problems losing current baseball fans.

Rhetorical side question...

Will the lost ad revenue from shorter time in between innings/half innings be put on the fans in the form of higher ticket prices? Or they will start paying the players less?
