Bro, how many 17 inning games were there last year? Are you that impatient, you can stand 9 innings but not 10, 11, or 12? Go watch a different sport if you want fast action. Baseball is chess. It’s slow it’s methodical, that’s what makes it great. I’m sorry you and thousands of other fail to see this. 9% of ballgames reach extras. Less than a 1 in 10 chance. A lot to ask to minimize something that’s already minimal.
