Another waste of time idea by MLB. What are they going to work on next, playing with only 5 guys and make right field out?

I agree they're policing this game way too much.

There has been a change in the game over the years with relievers. I’m not sure what the answer is. Used to be you wanted to get in the other teams bullpen.

The game really slows down when the relievers start coming into the game around the 6th-9th inning. Really slow and boring for the casual fan with all the commercial breaks.

Isn't it interesting that you never hear people complain about how slow golf is to watch, or all the waiting around when you watch ice skating, or even basketball with the 9 timeouts in the last 2 minutes of games that drag it out 20 minutes. All the talk about baseball being boring is by people that do not understand the game. It's the most perfect game invented. Leave it alone already. Take some time to really understand the details of the sport and you will not find it boring.

Talking the younger generation that is not watching on TV or paying to go to games, etc.

The "me" generation wants everything at light speed. Too much ADHD in the world to be able to sit down, watch and enjoy the game. If you don't like the pace of play, DVR the #### thing and you can zip through it at your leisure.

I think a lot of them don't even want to DVR it or buy the MLB pass.

They'd never buy the package- they're millennials, Purchases like that are on mommy (and or daddy if he is around). No... millennial money is used for Starbucks, video games and other useless crap.

That's the problem. Once the older generation dies off, who is going to be watching the baseball games?

It will be interesting to see in the next few decades plus with all the content out there whether baseball remains popular.

Fewer viewers, less ad dollars, and then it gets hidden on ESPN 7 or something in 2035.

I'll be 70 in 2035. If I'm still around, I'd BETTER be able to see games!
