Baseball is looking to make some major changes
in speeding up the game. I used to want that until
I thought about it for more than three seconds:
I used to bitch
and moan about the games being so long until I realized well,
what...I'd prefer them over quickly? What the fuck is that? I don't -
as each game goes on I start to fidget and worry about it being over
soon, and by the end I'm whatever above depressed is. It's like getting
into a warm tub and then getting sadder and sadder as the water becomes
cold, knowing you'll hafta be getting out soon. Mike Francesa once said
that baseball unfolds like a novel. I know each sport has it's own
pace, but I don't know why "getting it over with as quickly as possible"
would really be enough of an appeal to bring an audience to rival
football or basketball.
Although I do like this change:
Pitches will be eliminated during intentional walks.
