Absolutely ridiculous proposition when there are numerous numbers of other ways to speed up the game.

1. Eliminate warm-up pitches for a pitcher that has been warming up. Easy was to shave a few minutes off especially when a team is going to the pen a lot.
2. Don't let the batters leave the box after every pitch. That would speed the game up substantially.

This rule is just a gimmick though. Same thing with the pitch clock, it's a little ridiculous.

Speaking of it being a gimmick is there any evidence indicating it would significantly shorten games on average?
The average # of extra innings is already low.

This whole speed up the game philosophy bullshit...they'd just use that time to initiate TV timeouts for more commercials.


This is 100% correct.

Both fuck no.

1)Unless your team is out on 3 pitches per inning your pitcher needs to warm up.

2) they would never be able to get the sign before the pitcher throws.
