Doubleheaders are now only 7 innings.

Recently a pitcher threw a no-hitter.

I’m betting he would’ve like a chance at the 8th and 9th.

I once had the joy of being present to the bitter end of a ballgame between the mighty Red Sox and the less than mighty Os. It was April. It was cold. It was raining. Nomar was at his best and Manny was just being Manny. It was bliss. And it was long. 5-6 hours long.

Baseball isn’t supposed to be a fast game over in a couple of hours. Sometimes it takes hours. Sometimes it doesn’t. That’s baseball. Don’t mess with it to make it more palatable for people with short attention spans. That’s what basketball is for with its clocks and buzzers. Leave my game alone!
