A three hour baseball game includes an hour of players stepping out of the batters box to adjust their batting gloves and an hour for 10 pitching changes. BORING!!!
There are some very simple things MLB could do to make the game more interesting. Pitch clock is the main one. WAAAAY too much time between pitches. Also limit the number of pitching changes.
Some people complain about defensive shifts, but I think they can actually add more action to the game. Without the shift every player is trying to pull the ball out of the park so he either ends up walking back to the dugout after striking out or walking around the bases after hitting a home run. The idea of the shift is to force players to hit to the opposite field. When this happens the ball is hit in play more often and these professional athletes actually have to *gasp* RUN in order to play the game.
Also need a mandatory pool of alligators in centerfield of every stadium.
