Extra innings can become classics. Baseball is only :scusthov: to me when it's clear that it's the hitters being absolute garbage that has made the game last longer than it should.

See I'm not the only one. During the olympics and the world cup I definitely watch soccer, at least until the US has been bumped :shaq2:

But otherwise it's like :ld:

Same with me and i believe the reason behind it is theres very little stoppages its just free flowing with very little happening Hockey has a similar problem.

9 innings :yawn:

it's time to revolutionize the game

every other sport has a clock/time limit

what u think?
Golf, tennis, cricket and marathon running and others don't have a clock or time limit.
Cricket games go on for days. That's ridiculous.
Golf does end but each round takes so long. The tournament isn't over in a day.
Tennis matches can be over fast or get dragged out when the opponents are evenly matched.
Marathon and triathlon races take hours.

Some innings are over fast, 3 guys go to bat and all 3 end up out. Some innings become a nightmare and the defense can get an out. They could try to change it to two strikes and you are out, or have two outs per inning to shorten the game. It would be detrimental though.
They could increase the size of the infield so the runners have to run farther to get on base. This would increase the chances for defense to get an out. But it would open up the infield gaps between the third baseman and shortstop and first and second basemen. It would also push the pitcher's mound back so it might make it easier for batters to hit the ball since they have more time to track the ball. To get a triple would be almost impossible, but to get a single might be easier than before.

I wonder...of the people who think baseball is boring, how many watch soccer?

Soccer is a game with only one break
A 90 minute match of finesse, and fast pace action

There is a reason why it's played worldwide while baseball only thrives in like 5 countries
