The last 3 O’s games each were played in about 2:20.   Coupled with the 6:30 start time in April/May, we could see some games over by 9 pm.  

Are spring training games traditionally shorter than regular season games?  Seems like there wouldn't be all the commercial breaks between innings.  Games around 2:30 instead of over 3:00 would be huge.

I like the pitch clock but I think it needs some tweaking.

I heard the average time of a ST game last year was 3:01.

I for one loves this because it allows me time to watch more of the minor league games as well. Or who knows, watch something with my wife as well.

Agreed. Adding four or five seconds to it would do a lot of good. There's no time to allow big moments to breathe now.

I don’t need my big moments to breathe.  I need them to occur before I fall asleep waiting for them to happen.
