The biggest problem with baseball is the ridiculous amount of time between innings. 1 minute and 30 seconds should be maximum. Instead, many, many times in real life, it’s closer to 3 minutes. Absolutely killing the game.

I rarely watch MB anymore. But, I agree that putting a clock in the pitcher will eventually have to happen. I’m thinking maybe 30 secs max per pitch. Penalty if exceeded would be a ball charged to pitcher.
What do you think pays for those multi-million dollar player contracts? It's not stadium gate receipts. It's television ad revenue.
You reduce the number of commercials between innings (radio and TV,) and you reduce the revenue stream.
