Baseball is baseball because it's baseball. Fast and speedy games aren't what it's about, relax a bit and set the phone down, what's the rush ?
I am nothing close to a millennial.
Baseball is NOT about watching a guy step out of the box five times and adjust every piece of equipment four times then having the pitcher shake off five signs until the batter has to step out again. Do you really enjoy watching that?
I don't mind long games if it is because teams are getting a lot of hits and scoring runs, but the average baseball games has added a HALF HOUR of ABSOLUTLELY NOTHING. The average game in the seventies was 2.5 hours, now it is up to 3 hours.
