If and when baseball gets passed by soccer in popularity, it will have only itself to blame. Baseball keeps making changes yet refuses to fix what is hurting the sport the most. And in some cases, it's a result of refusing to enforce it's own rules. Greatly varying strike zones, many if which are shoebox, are part of it. And there are other issues.
But notably, last night I was watching MLB network for a short while and Reynolds and Plesac were commenting during a look-in on the Boston-LAA game. They were practically mocking the Red Sox and the sport for Red Sox pitchers taking copious amounts of time between pitches. One pitcher routinely took over 30 seconds and was at times over a minute. Life's too short to spend watching this kind of crap and kudos to Harold and Dan for calling it out. The even went as far as to possibly insinuate that Boston was doing this as a matter of strategy, that they were lulling the batters on purpose.
The sad part is, the networks probably love this. When big market teams play, the longer the game, the better. It's too bad Selig is a spineless prick who let's Fox and ESPN run MLB and is also a slave to Boston and NYY.
