Preach Howie! Howie for commissioner! (But he still has to do games on the radio.)
I wrote about this very topic this morning. Like most topics, you guys act like its stupid when I first say them, then the ideas go mainstream. I am always right, remember that.
Why the new MLB extra inning and doubleheader rules? Easy. Last two Mets games a good answer. 3:44 and 3:49 to play a 9 inning game is absurd. Too much down time. BBs, Ks, HRs and foul balls. How can they improve the PACE of play when the ball is hardly ever IN PLAY?
