[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1716569, member: 4159"] I'm certain pitchers are a cause for delays and longer games but batters are culpable too. Mike Hargrove [URL='https://www.businessinsider.com/the-human-rain-delay-mike-hargrove-used-to-drive-opposing-pitchers-insane-video-2013-7']"The Human Rain Delay"[/URL] got it going. I absolutely hate when a batter takes a pitch then steps out to unbuckle are re-buckle his batting gloves. He didn't do anything. They are not loose. I'm sure I've mentioned it here before. I was watching a replay of Don Larsen's perfect World Series game. It looked odd. (Besides the camera angles and no on screen stats.) Whenever a batter struck out they tossed the ball around the infield and back to the catcher Yogi Berra who gave it to the pitcher. The game took 2:06 to play. I remember looking at the box scores for games in the 60's Gibson or Fergie games were just over or just under 2 hours consistently. If batter stepped out or dug in too deep pitchers let them know it. Something else that has added to the game is the extra time between innings for commercials. [/QUOTE]
