I'd like to see MLB adopt computerized pitch calls the way Tennis does...allow
a certain number of challenges...the umps keep their jobs, but are incentivized to "get real" in their calls...i.e. umps that consistently rack up bogus calls get warnings...suspensions...or...the NFL.
This is how they used to call strikes for Glavine, Maddox, Avery, and Smoltz

And when Skynet becomes self-aware, they'll just vaporize guys who argue strikes or step out of box.

...well at least that would speed up the game.

Not a baseball guy, but I'd tune in to watch.

Something similar might bring me back to the NBA...

i once read a quote from an umpire, “that’s not my strike zone.” power corrupts.

There are so many things MLB needs.
I liked the clocks at the CWS. Get in the fucking batter's box, Pokie!
Baseball has become very boring. From starting pitchers throwing maybe 6 innings and then
The endless pitching changes. Then you add in slow at bats and you have 3-4 hour games. I cannot tell you the last game I actually sat and watch in full. I would think it was the Phillies World Series win.
Try soccer. C'mon 0-0 doesn't excite? HA!

Too funny. You see, I love a low scoring hockey game. Great action and goaltending.
Watching soccer makes me want to jam a pen in my eye. Way too boring.
Stop batters from strapping, then restrapping their batting gloves after every pitch.
I don't know about any other MLB, but the White Sox broadcasts are running short commercial spots within the half inning of play. Like between batters and even pitches. Top those two things will MLB social justice spots and you have yourself great fun watching the old ball game on TV.
