The reaction of many baseball people to the new rules is kind of over the top. Some of them, like the ghost runner are dumb, but I'm personally on board with the pitch clock. I don't care how long a game lasts, especially if I'm at the ballpark- I'll sit there happily for 5 hours. But I want action, not standing around. The problem with modern baseball is not game length, it's pace, and I'm hopeful they will help with that. Plus, 5 years from now, as is the case with most new rules that have been added, most people won't even notice.
