But remember A12, back during these great times the games averaged much less time then they were in 2022. They progressively became longer and longer and went from 2.5 hours to over 3 hours and it was the number one complaint from fans. The premadonnas at the plate who expected everyone to wait while they stepped out of the box after every single pitch to play with their batting gloves, sweat bands, gold chains, etc. Same for the pitchers that wanted to walk around the mound after every pitch while the world waits for THEM. So really, the timer is returning the game to what it was when we all remember it at it's best.
