The games definitely feel like they progress at a faster pace. I'm really enjoying it.

How much longer are breaks between innings than they were several decades ago? Is it the same now as it is with the other 3 major sports?

We went to a day game last year in the September heat and humidity. We walked what felt like 2 miles to the stadium. And waited outside the gate for another 30-45 minutes. Grabbed some drinks. And then took our seats probably another 30 minutes before first pitch. The game was 11-5. And ran 3.5 hours. That particular day, I would have definitely appreciated a quicker paced game. But we hung around to the end anyway since we live over 100 miles away, and Pujols got one more at bat in the 9th inning.
So I can definitely appreciate the shorter games in person. Especially for a day game in the heat and humidity in addition to a long drive home. But watching on TV, it doesn't matter to me as much. So I see both sides of it.

Even if that much time is needed for the in-game chess match, it’s not fun for fans. All we see is a batter constantly fiddling with his gloves or a pitcher standing there on the mound. Wait a whole minute then the pitcher throws over to first. Another minute, then a ball. Some of these pitchers/hitters just took an excessive amount of time and like it or not, the sport has to be fun for fans to remain healthy.

Well said.
