    A (rare) baseball post from me

    Why I don't watch it.

    Average mlb game is 3 hours 30 minutes.

    Today's game at Camden Yards (since no fans were there)????

    2 hours 3 minutes.

    Cut out all the bullshit and I might watch a few innings.

    I wonder if they played their walkup music today?

    They've implemented a few new little rules to move things along. The games I've watched so far this year move at a much better pace IMO. But baseball is a game that should never have a clock.

    I'd like to know if the pitcher threw one ball and then stepped off the mound for 2 minutes.
    And if the batter took 89 seconds to settle in, take one pitch, then step out, and take another 165 second to get settled back in.

    I figured out why no one was there.

    Yes. They played walk up music.

    I like baseball just like it is.

    3.5 hours of watching baseball cant be as interesting as 3.5 to 5 hours of left turns.
