I have said this before to some derision. Change walks and strikeouts to 3 balls to walk and 2 strikes to K. It will force pitchers to throw more strikes and batters to move the stick. Couple that with a pitch clock - let batters do whatever they want - if they aren't in a ready after 5 seconds and they are fidgeting around - pump it over the middle for a strike. These two things will bring back the 2:10 ball game - and the owners don't have to change anything else.
