Last night’s game was a disaster IMO. 4+ hours to play a 9 inning game when only 10 runs were scored? I’m a geezer, but I remember when a typical Catfish Hunter complete game took less than 2 hours.
It’s the commercial breaks between innings. Much longer in post season so they can milk the advertising.
Last night’s game saw the teams use a combined 14 pitchers. A few years ago, 14 was a record for any 9-inning game.
Next year, pitchers will have to face at least 3 batters.
