Baseball season is just under two weeks old… Are you
tired yet? For a sport which can cite the speed of the
game as one of its major detractors, the 2014 season has
already seen developments come to light to call into
question whether the game needs to be sped up. The advent
of instant replay on select plays, allowing managers to
challenge contentious calls, has added yet another stall
tactic to the great summer spectacle. Naturally, two
weeks in, a pattern has emerged. Many organizations have
employed or utilized a “video coach” whose job it is to
keep an eye on a monitor when close plays come about and
to double-check whether the right call was made. In order
to give managers better odds of winning challenges, a
trend has now emerged where skippers saunter out to the
umpire to discuss the call while awaiting a signal from
the bench to decide whether or not the play is
“challenge-worthy”. Sometimes it is not and the game
proceeds. Sometimes it is and more time is spent actually
reviewing the play in question. So, whats the solution?
Well, according to a report from ESPNs Buster Olney
earlier this week, one MLB executive believes seven-
inning games would help get the games done in roughly
two-and-a-half hours. But is that really the best way to
speed up the game? Solutions have been pitched before,
however. In 2007, the MLBs official rules were altered to
reduce the maximum amount of time a pitcher was allowed
between pitches without runners on base. Under these
rules, a pitcher was allowed no more than 12 seconds
between pitches (down from 20) with the bases empty. The
penalty for exceeding that time limit is an extra ball
added to the batters count. Still, games clock in
regularly at north of three hours. So, is the seven-
inning game a viable solution for Major League Baseball?
Changes have been made in the past to alter the quality
of the game both on- and off the field including the
advent of the live-ball era, the lowering and raising of
the pitchers mound and – most notably – the
restructuring of the Leagues substance abuse policy in
the wake of the “Steroid era”. Speaking of which:
Wouldnt a switch to seven innings be a clever way to
asterisk the records that Major League Baseball is
hesitant to recognize? “Sure, Barry Bonds is the all-
time home run king… but that was during the nine-inning
era.” What do you say? Would you be in favour of just
heading home at the seventh-inning stretch? As always,
its Your! Call.

It sort of worked out this season. Top-ranked Florida

fashion.
