Agreed.
IMHO, baseball needs a shot clock like basketball and football. I think 30 seconds would be generous.
Baseball also needs a defined number of time outs.
Nonsense. Baseball is perfect. Pure symmetry.
What baseball is missing are teams. Teams with players that fans can attach their loyalties to before they blow to another city.
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. What I love about baseball is that there is no clock. You can be down 22-0 with two out in the ninth, and however unlikely a comeback is, it's never impossible. There is no such thing as "running out the clock" in baseball. If you can't devote 3 hours to a game, skip it and watch the highlights on SportsCenter.
That is what makes baseball a great game, and more importantly, a great American game. As baseball's poet laureate, Yogi Berra, once observed, "it ain't over 'til it's over." Every pitch counts. Every play counts. Every game counts, all 162 of them. It's a never-give-up, never-say-die game, and sticking a clock on it would suck the life out of it. Never, I say.
