Why do Red Sox Yankees games seem to drag on more so than other games

Every time one of the games is on national TV it seems like the games drag on forever. I mean more so than other games on National TV. A quick game for them is 3 hours long. BTW it's not like these games are high scoring affairs either. Makes no sense.

They have slow working pitchers and take a lot of pitches.

Other teams play on ESPN and they do not seem to last as long.

Almost every game they play is long as frick. It's not because of ESPN.

I've seem games they played last 3 1/2-4 hours for a 9 inning game. Makes no sense. When is the last time you had a 2 hour Red Sox Yankees game?

You've already been answered. They take a lot of pitches and have slow pitchers.

I will say this, their game tonight has been very entertaining to just chill and watch on a Sunday night. And it's running at a normal pace. it started at 7 PM and 2 hours 15 minutes later and they are in the 7th.

Both teams value batters that see more pitches per at bat, thus getting to the inferior bullpen arms. The pitchers pitch slower hoping to irritate batters into swinging. Buchholts is probably the slowest pitcher in MLB

ESPN has nothing to do with this.
AL games are generally longer than NL games, especially when the Red Sox are playing.

Throwing 322 pitches takes a long time. For example, during Game 2 of the ALCS, Boston's Clay Buchholz took two minutes to throw a single pitch. Two minutes! Mark Buehrle could throw three innings in that span.

Much of the blame for these lengthy games goes to the Red Sox, who grind out at-bats until the starter reaches his pitch limit or simply falls asleep on the mound. But it's not just them. The Athletics and Tigers played a 1-0 game in their division series that lasted nearly three and a half hours. Sonny Gray's mustache had almost filled out by the time that game ended.
quote:
This length-of-game trend is reflective of the growing number of strikeouts in Major League Baseball, hitters working the count and constantly stepping in and out of the box. More strikeouts equals more pitches, which equals more times stepping out of the box to fiddle with batting gloves, which equals longer games, which equals more people changing the channel to HGTV for "House Hunters International."
