I almost read an article saying that baseball should be put on the clock. I agree 100%.
Yesterday my wife and I went to a sports bar. We sat down, ordered a beer, then she went to the restroom. By the time she got back, four pitches had been thrown. Four.

I love baseball, but c'mon man... four pitches in like 5 minutes? There should be a clock.
This is very difficult to believe, without plays or some outside delay, did it take 5 minutes to throw 4 pitches.

At that speed, since both starting pitchers usually throw in the neighborhood of 100 pitches, the first 7ish innings would take over 4 hours...which we all know isn't true.

I believe the minor leagues instituted pitch clocks and it saved on average like 12 minutes per game...Not worth it. IMO of course.

I could see limiting the number of visits to the mound...but even that isn't going to save you more than a couple minutes at max.

Why does everyone have to be in such a hurry to watch sports? This is leisure time...sit back, relax, and enjoy the game. Who cares if it takes 3 hours? If you can't watch it all...watch the news, read a paper, or look it up online. We have the information available.

Tulo and Donaldson are scheduled to come off the DL, but Jays have been playing great without them. o_O

Let's go Dbacks! clap, clap, clap clap clap.
During about a 500 miles drive, today, did catch one short piece of a sports show. Don't know who it was, but he did say Arizona would be in the World Series. Says they will walk over the Rockies, will have a tough time against the Dodgers, but will prevail.
I don't know one bloomin' thing about baseball. If the DBacks are your favorite team... GO DBACKS!!!!!!
