Ways to Improve College Baseball - LSU Related

LSU has traditionally been great at college baseball, but it can be a boring product at times. One at bat can feature 5 foul balls, 3 pick off moves, and it feels like nothing happened.
Here are some of my thoughts on how to improve the game we all love:
- No Relief Pitcher Warmup Pitches - They are warming up in the bullpen. Do they really need 8 more warmup pitches where they aren't showing their best stuff to potential hitters?
- Limit catcher visits to the mound - It seems like every 2-3 batters there is a conference at the mound. The pitcher doesn't need a dissertation from the catcher and infielders. Let him pitch. Limit it like coaching visits.
- Give the pitcher and catcher ear pieces that the coach can talk into - This way we don't have to go through the exhausting process of coach calling a pitch, catcher relaying it and pitcher accepting it. It would be instant
- Foul Outs - At bats with 2 strikes where the batter just keeps fouling it off can get pretty tedious. Once a player gets 2 strikes, give them one more foul and then they are out.
- Or start with a 1-1 count - Works well in softball leagues to speed up the game
Thoughts? Anymore ideas?

If they hit off a tee it would speed up the game too.

Baseball can be boring at times. That's the nature of the game. You just gotta accept it.
Next time you get bored, take a Facebook quiz about what Disney princess you are to stay entertained.

Maybe the ear piece thing in my lifetime. The rest will never happen in a million years.

No.
You just don't like baseball.
Here's my fixes:
1. Let schools decided how to give their own scholarships out.
2. Either use minor league ball and same bats OR use current ball and 2010 bats.
3. No roster limits for road games
4. No other changes.

This may be one of the dumbest things I've ever read on here. Congrats for establishing the bar so high for future posts.

Not according to tv ratings. The CWS championship games are getting a 0.3.
For comparison the final four received a 13.3 and the College football playoff received an 18.2
Seems like it could use some changes and isn't "fine"
