On Making Baseball a Faster Game

If baseball games take forever to play (supposedly), what is the MLB doing about it to "speed things up"?

Baseball games are not exactly known for finishing up in an timely manner. In fact when you go to any baseball game, here's the best way to know how long you'll be there: 
Yeah...well, there isn't a way of knowing.

You can make a guess, but you'll probably be right 3 out of 10 times, so you'd average the same as an average baseball player: a .300 batting average (ironic, huh?).

That's not to say baseball isn't worth watching! I will give many reasons here on ATS why baseball is one of the greatest sports ever created (but at some other time). 

Here's a story I found on ESPN about the MLB's recent pace of play changes, in order to speed up the game a little bit.

And then a vulgar and quite honest reaction from one of baseball's most recognized players, David Ortiz:

I'll talk more about this latest development in subsequent posts, but just so you have a general idea of what is going on, the ESPN article and the video above are good starters.

Be back soon on ATS!
