College Baseball, damn change the rules

I tried to watch some of the SEC tournament but every freakin player steps out of the box between every fn pitch. It's just brutal. These games would be so much better if they made the batters keep one foot in the box between pitches.

Or if they had umpires that know the strike zone

Play the game like fast pitch softball.....much faster pace and more fun to watch.

Agree. You don't have as many pitching changes in softball, but there's no reason for baseball to take so long. No reason.

MLB has done a decent job of speeding things up a bit this year

Several times this year, I watched, listened or followed an Astros game, one of our softball games and one of our baseball games at the same time. Even though the Astros game started after our games did they finished before our games did. (With all things being equal that is in no extra innings, rain delays, etc.) MLB also has a lot more sponsors that they are beholden to, so the between inning breaks take longer but the actual play in the game has sped up some.
So yes, both college softball and baseball could do some tweeking speed up the game.
