This announcer wants to make the 3d game of a series 7 innings.

WTF

Explain to me how it's not a good idea or his idea is, by default, better than yours.

He obviously hates baseball

I can see his argument. It doesn't really do much in the way of shortening the other games though.

Dave Neal is in the final week of the regular season in a game that's basically been decided with a team that's sucks changing pitchers every other batter. I don't blame him.

ESPN isn't letting that happen.

Let's go ahead and make non-conference football games end after the third quarter.

OP is better than your opinion.

Yea. But I can see where on a Saturday night at 11pm he's ready to get out of there

the way they should shorten the game is the pacing.
here are some real easy ones that don't change the way the game is played.
1) batter can't leave the batters box between pitches unless he calls time or foul ball.
2) limit catchers visits on the mound.
3) limit pitching coaches visits to mound more than just per inning.

He's been on this issue before. On a previous telecast, he said that even pitchers' duels take too long.

Dave Neil has become a dick! Doesn't enough about baseball to be be announcing.

I'm getting sick and tired of people bitching about the length of baseball games. It's gotten old and is s symptom of the way we've become a society with the collective attention span of a marshmallow.
A baseball game is (by and large) nine innings. There is no clock. These are things people know going in.

Like 2 & 3. Not a fan of 1, because it kind of means you can't get signs from a coach in between pitches.

good point.
There just has to be a way for the ump to "encourage" the batter to hurry up and get in the box. If a guy wastes 5 to 10 seconds between every pitch it really slows down the game.

The game was almost exactly 3 hours. That's longer than most college games these days. 2.5 hours is pretty normal with the pace clock. But 3 hours is generally what the basic time of a baseball game is. So I don't know why this game would make people want to try to shorten games. Pretty much just because LSU was crushing crappy SC and no one wanted to be there anymore. How about SC gets better at baseball? A 3 hour baseball game is pretty normal.

Want to speed up the game? Intentional walks just award them don't throw the 4 pitches.
Posted on 5/16/15 at 10:42 pm to r2d2
Since those happen so often...
Posted on 5/16/15 at 10:44 pm to r2d2
This won't shorten the game but the season, eliminate the tourney, or just make it with the 4 best teams. A 10th place team has no business playing for any kind of championship.
