How about the pitch clock in between pitches that is currently in play in the minors? I know it would probably have to be collectively bargained, but that would be a way to speed things up, rather than neutering dominant relievers.

I feel like the improvements they have made the past couple years (clock between innings, clock for mound visits, batter's box rules) have helped to speed the game up. On the other hand, I don't really care if a ballgame takes 4.5 hours to finish, I'll watch regardless.

Baseball's TV ratings problems have nothing to do with the length of the games. A lot of people don't tune in due to the repetitiveness and monotony of the sport, the sheer number of televised games and the explosion of entertainment options in recent years. It's puzzling why MLB believes making baseball a faster-paced sport would suddenly get people to tune in and watch. It won't.
