*Just my opinion, but it’s one boring long game that needs some rule changes to speed it up.*

Then don’t watch it. If you want to watch a fast game, table tennis or even ice hockey is occasionally on ESPN.

I get a kick out of people who complain about the length of a baseball game, like they DON’T want to get their money’s worth—nope, pay 80 bucks to get in and get out in an hour, that’s their philosophy.

I don’t watch. The point was people might actually treat it like the favorite sport if it weren’t so boring. I got bored playing it as a kid.

I’d watch it gladly for 3 hours if there were something to watch.

Guy throws a ball.
Option 1: Guy hits it. One guy catches it. Everyone else stands around.
Option 2: Guy misses ball. Catcher catches ball. Everyone else stands around.
And the guy gets 3 fouls, 2 strikes and 3 balls to make a hit after of course taking numerous warm up swings outside the box.
If by chance a few guys get on base it might get interesting.

I think Curling may have more action.

Different strokes for different folks. Just made on observation.
