Reply to "Manfred on pace of the game"

RJM posted:

Rob Manfred was recently in Boston. In an interview he was asked about the pace of the game. He noted three changes that need to be looked at ...

1) The time between pitches for certain pitchers.

2) The number of catcher visits to the mound.

Hold on to you hats. You might want to be seated for this one ...

3) The number of ads between innings. He said there's too much time to channel surf between innings.

1 and 2 are going to happen.  I have serious reservations about any changes to 3 getting by the owners....we are talking about money AND a bunch of old guys wallets.

What surprises me is Manfred said nothing about instant replay and the pace of the game.  Expanded instant replay needs to happen and quicker rulings on those instant replays.  

I like this commisioner, and I think he is going to do great things for the sport we all love.
