MLB, Just Like The Show, Concerned About Time It Takes to Finish A Game

Football? It's ridiculous now. Seriously without the Red Zone channel the NFL would be dead to me....I am totally serious. It is so bad now with stoppage of play in today's NFL. It's a joke. I simply flip to red zone on every stoppage during a broadcast game I am interested in watching. Commercial free NFL is great.

Same here. I can't watch on regular channels anymore. Makes it hard to watch SNF, MNF, TNF.

Granted commentators in sports...at least the ones in my market and on the "main" channels...are just hard for me the more I learn about the sports I follow.

Baseball much like Hockey has become more of a niche sport. I am fine with that. And the owners of MLB will have to be....because if they start ****ing with our National Pastime they will lose most of their true die hard life long fans.

And not necessarily attract the "new" ones they want either.

Granted, I don't understand the time thing. I mean if they shave 10-15 minutes off a game...A game might take 3:15 instead of 3:30? Yay?

What was I going to do with those 15 minutes (that would be broken up between periodic pauses...not like there's this 15-minute block of time they could take out) that a) I couldn't have done anyway, or b) if it's that important, I'm probably not devoting 3 hr block to watch a game?

Aren't the in-between innings of MiLB thirty seconds shorter than MLB because of lack commercials ? I think I have heard that before but now I'm not sure .
