Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3141576, member: 652"] Pitch clock. Teach these pitchers get the ball and pitch. These pitchers get one person on base and slow the games down to unbearable pace. If pitchers just threw the ball and pace moved it would shave 15-20 minutes off per game. No 9 inning game should average more than 3 hours per game. In 2005 the average length of game was 2 hours 47 minutes This year the average length of game is 3 hours 5 minutes. An average Red Sox game took 3 hours 23 minutes this year. That is an average game. I am not going to watch a regular game for that amount time. That isn’t even a Red Sox-Yankees game which takes a lot longer. Those London games were brutal for how long they took and they were 9 inning games. It was 4 hours and 42 minutes for a regular 9 inning game. Make these pitchers move faster. Games start so late. I don’t want to watch a 4 hour game for something with little action. Maddux was a fast pitcher. He didn’t waste time. [/QUOTE]
