MLB takes a step in the right direction...

World Series games starting 40 minutes earlier this year.

A good start...now cut the commercials between the innings, and the time that a batter takes to walk out/ in the box, and the time a pitcher takes turning down the catchers signals. ! Then everyone on the east coast may see the end of the game !!!

Maybe a day-game or two on the weekends.

Maybe they can do something about Buck and McCarver and things will really be looking up.

That's what I get for not reading the details in the link. :eek:

Heard on the radio this AM that FOX believes the viewership/ratings would drop significantly for days games verse night games.

they just don't want to lower their ad revenue, which commands a premium in primetime. Same crap with having the all star game determine home field... ploy by fox to drive up viewership so they can charge more for their ads. Never should have happened in the first place. Best record should get to play at home.
Getting rid of Buck wouldn't hurt viewership either. His dad was a good announcer... he isn't.
