I like the new 2015 MLB rules to speed up baseball. I CANNOT watch an entire game! I'm bored after 1 hours and that's only 3 innings! It should be interesting to see the game return to hustle. I'm almost in favor of issuing a softball tournament rule I played in: batter steps in with 3 balls and 2 strikes on him. Well, maybe not for baseball. Heck, a player with a $10M/year salary to play 9 innings, each with about 6 pitches per batter, would get paid $10M for 1/6 of a batting effort, plus the time saved in the field. Heck, the MLB could triple the number of games and his salary will still be over $30M for the year.
Anyway, the games must be sped up. The new rules restricting the time a batter can be out of the box or the time the pitcher has before throwing the ball are steps in the right direction. Now, how about just shooting goals in hockey instead of playing the game? Or having only 5 rounds in a boxing match instead of having to watch the guys/gals dance around for 60% of the rounds? I love playing the games, but hate watching because of the length of them.
