7. I think the pitch clock has actually speeded up games.

Used to be you could count on most games being at least 3 hrs. long and many were longer than that, but now they are shorter by about 20 minutes or so (or so it seems to me).

What irks me is when they mic up a player in the field and yak with him during the game! Or split screen interviews with someone in the dugout. Just show the game!! All that other stuff is too distracting.

I loathe the mic and split screen too. They've dumbed down the game by over producing it. Auggie Jul 2024 #15
