MLB needs to respond to the marketplace and shorten games. There is zero doubt fans want shorter games and surveys show this. When you factor in the 10-min attention span of their future customers, the milennials, it's a no-brainer. Calling strikes is one of the few options they have but when you do, you slash runs. To compensate you have to increase speed.
The move towards expanded instant replay is a step in the wrong direction. It'll bore the shit outta fans and increase game lengths. Sorry but a blown call over the course of 162 games isn't worth the endless delays coming on board.
Finally they should limit pitching changes. They're awful. Watching some of the NL playoffs those d-bag managers were doing multiple swaps in the same half inning. You should get 1 pitching change in an inning. ("You can't do that Bitch!" says Duncan. Yes we can! Yes we can!)
