Baseball is on the clock, batters and pitchers are on notice– in the name of a more “interesting” product and sustained viewership, at the expense of time-honored strategy and ritual, and because viewers at home and probably in the stands have a next-to-nonexistent attention span.
A dwindling capacity for nuance, a discomfort with idle time, unable any longer to put up with what they can only describe as boredom– that cheap, lazy, catch-all word.
