The sport should be left alone.

I drive several hrs to attend MLB games and I want my $'s worth of baseball. Tickets, gas, traffic, parking etc...if a game goes under 3 hrs I'm disappointed. I am thrilled when games go to extra innings.

As another stated, when watching on TV, I also fast forward through all commercials. I can only see the same law firm commercials on Fox Sports Detroit so many times

I'm cool with some of the ideas that MLB is pushing: limit mound visits, shorten breaks, speed up replay reviews... My solution is to watch 3 games at the same time - 2 split screen on TV plus one on my IPad - then its impossible to keep up with the pace. Combine that with managing 5 or 6 fantasy teams and its baseball heaven.

When watching a game live, I simply pound beer with a group of friends and the time flies by.

I rarely watch games although I will watch a world series game or two just for old times sake. Usually I won't watch a whole one, just a part of one, when I do watch.

You want to speed the game, you gotta speed the players. What they need to do is fine every player on both rosters if a game goes longer than 2.5 hours. That'll light a fire under their asses.
