Simply too long for me to watch.
Good for the Nationals and Scherzer...
I watched 5 innings and he scratched and dug and reached back.
Midnight is too late unless it happens to be a home team and sometimes not even then.
Agreed. Here now on the west coast, i PVR the Toronto games,
so i can watch them in about 2 hours, starting at a reasonable hour.
There is a lot of baseball in a season, and it should be a second near full time job
to watch your home team. NBA has this figured out.
There were some articles written recently with suggestions to shorten the game,
a pitch clock was one. A time-suck in the post season is pitching changes, and
then the warm up pitches when they finally get to the mound after all the conferences
and delays. I say give them 45 seconds to get to the mound and go. No tossing
to the catcher, just go. The current situation totally kills the tension, usually players
on base standing around for 10 minutes as the commercial breaks, warm ups, catcher
visits, it stalls the most drama of the game.
