MLB looking at electronic system for calling pitches

15. I Totally Disagree

Games take 51 minutes longer now than in 1980, and that was 12 minutes longer than 1960.
It's the same 9 inning game.
People have examined commercial time in 1980 & now. 3.2 minutes per hour.
So, we've accounted for 7 or 8 minutes. Out of 51.
The other 43 minutes of watching hitters adjust gloves (often without even swinging at the prior pitch: & they're wearing $180 batting gloves; how much adjusting is needed?). Pitchers shaking off 5 signs. Hitters stepping out to get signals from the bench instead of from the base coach.
There is no added fan experience derived from all that wasted time. Nobody goes to the game to watch stall tactics.
The price of the game is irrelevant. Major sports became made for TV decades ago. When a game draws 40,000 people, 40 times that are watching on TV. At least. And TV ratings are falling.
And, it costs nothing extra to watch the game on television.
The game needs to be sped up.
