Real rules

Isn't the DH contradictory to baseball speeding up the game?

Look at the graph that was posted for runs scored and times of games.
Is that why the AL games are soooooooo long? Yep. It is.

So now baseball wants to speed up the game, in reality, because of the DH.
Now they've cut the time between innings.
Makes it harder for them to entertain the crowd between innings. Cut short the sausage, pierogie and President races. Oh, no!!!!
Blame it on the batters for not being in the box.
Hey, lets add a stupid pitch clock while were at it.

Baseball can't admit the obvious. The DH is the culprit. The DH alone has added to the length of time of baseball games. More runs = longer games.

The more baseball tinkers with this game, the more they should have left it alone.
