2 strikes = Yer Out
3 balls = Ya walk
2 outs = Yer time at bat is over
5 innings = Ye Old Game is over
Game tied after 5 innings = Tied Game
The game would speed up by at least a half hour maybe a full hour if they only allowed batter stepping out of the box between pitches for 7-10 seconds.
Each pitch it seems the batter has to step out, adjust his junk, wrist band, helmet, reset velcro on his glove, dig a hole, spit, look for a sign...fer gods sake your paid millions to play a game. Play it.
Grab some dirt on your way to the plate rub your hands and take your swings
