Redsox in 5. But I'm not sure how much more of this I can watch with 4 minute commercials in between innings. Pitchers get 5 warmups in between, it can realistically take one minute to return to play. I think MLB is addressing the wrong topic when they say they're trying to improve the pace of play. While the pace is a little slower, it does not compare to how long the fans are sitting around twiddling their thumbs.
17 half innings. If they cut the commercials from 4 to 2 minutes:
17 half innings x 4 min = 1hr 8 minutes of commercials/extended game time
17 half innings x 2 minutes = 34 minutes of commercials/extended game time
I get it. Commercials make money. But 4 hours to watch a game that features 20 strikeouts is ridiculous. Even at the stadium I find myself looking around saying what is taking so long. This is a big obstacle for baseball
