Baseball ought to be renamed so that this new gimmick ridden spectacle is no longer confused with the greatest game ever invented.
Time limits are used in Asian ball, and in tournaments, they have to speed up play in case of tie games since they have to hurry the schedule.
The greatest game ever invented is ice hockey. All the others are fighting for a distant second. :-0

Those bases have to be earned; they earned by getting a hit.
Straight up there with every kid getting a “participation trophy“.
yes
