"I don't think baseball games need to be sped up at all. All this talk of speeding them up is because the stupid millennial have the attention span of a gnat and baseball is trying to figure out how to pander to them. I'm so sick and damn' tired of millennial."

You'r half right. Millennial do have no attention span, but the games are WAAAAAY too long.

Look it up. See how long a regular game took in the 50'-s through the 70's. It's sickening now.

I love baseball, but I almost never watch a full game anymore.

All the mound visits, all the pitcher changes, all the replays......... it's nearly all BS now.

...the games are WAAAAAY too long.

They're under three hours long. Football games go longer and soccer, which is boring as hell feels like it's a lot longer than it actually is.

I look at it this way: with the average cost of a ticket to go see a game, I don't want the game to get sped up. I want as much playing time for my money as I can get. Especially with how much the players make!
