In 1981, the average duration of a baseball game was 2:33. In 2019, it was 3:05. What is that 32 minutes going to? Pitching changes, pitchers taking forever to throw the ball, batters getting out of the box . . . 32 minutes of nothingness. Commercials, ad-time, sponsors, talking heads in the booth paying little attention to the actual game but instead prattling on endlessly about contracts and the "big picture". All of this stuff takes time to do. Unless baseball wants to seriously tackle this stuff (and they never will), the pace of the game will get slower and slower.
