I honestly doubt they're gonna cater to purists who enjoy the downtime between pitches.

This is probably my biggest concern. I'm honestly waiting for it to get to the point where it doesn't even resemble baseball at all. I mean real baseball is heading that way, why would we expect The Show to be any different. If that day ever comes I will just stick with whatever the last game is before that and be happy.

I wanted to hear about new playoff presentations.

As well as new milestone celebrations like 100th homerun and so on.

I remember this too. But they already have a system in place to please everyone. We just hope they use it.

To get those game times under 150 minutes, they could have something built into the ground behind the mound that shoots a new ball up with air-pressure and the pitcher catches.

They already want to skip the Pitcher throwing the ball to the Catcher. How far away is the opposite? LOL

I hope they don't follow down the same path as NASCAR. It has changed so much that I don't even watch it anymore.
