I get sick of the length of some ABs with countless foul offs. Don't really want to tinker with the format of an AB though. That would be a drastic change to the game. I wouldn't be 100% against reducing the game length to seven innings, which obviously would be a huge change. I'm not saying I'm 100% for it, either.
Way too many stats. The media likes to tell us stuff like this was the first time there have been champagne celebrations in the opposing team's locker room on back to back days. Who gives a shit?
The real problem regards the length of games is that baseball was invented before tv and smartphones. Those two things have shortened our collective attention spans.
Also, MLB needs to market their stars better. No one cares about them.
