I'm very Old School when it comes to baseball. I've lost a lot of interest in MLB. Never thought that would happen. I still follow the Reds but I haven't watched a game not involving Cincinnati in years. Don't watch playoffs, World Series, none of it. I'm pretty much with Pete Rose. All the new rules suck. Baseball was never meant to be timed. I once spent over 10 hours at the ball park. It was a doubleheader at Riverfront in the 80's. First game went 18 innings. About 5+ hours. Second game another 3 hours. One of the best days of my life.
Clocks, ghost runners(which only be for playing whiffle ball), relievers must pitch to three batters, etc are all designed to speed up the game that used to be America's past time but is becoming just a passing thought for us baseball purists. Our society has such a short attention span and it wants everything done in a hurry, including baseball games. Baseball has lost me. Is it just a temporary separation or a full divorce? Only time will tell, I guess.
