Time of game is about weekday games ending at 10PM. People want to get the kids home at a reasonable time.

MLB already shaved the inning break times. They can't shave more - lost revenue.

3 balls 2 strikes changes the game too much.

Here's a rule idea: A pitcher must pitch to a minimum of three batters unless he is injured or comes into the game with fewer than 3 outs remaining for the opposing team.

Here's another rule: A starting pitcher must pitch a minimum of 6 innings unless he is injured. A starting pitcher who had less than 4 days rest since his last pitching appearance must pitch a minimum of 5 innings.
