No. The beauty of the game is the slower pace. Baseball is great because you don't have to stare at the game 24/7 it's the perfect background for doing other things.
For me it makes me less likely to make a trip somewhere, I don't want to pay what prices are for a game that's going to be over in 15 minutes. Give me a 4 hour marathon everytime.

I like the new rules. Really love the extra inning rules. Nothing worse than watching a 13 plus inning game that lasts 5 hours.

Not sure about the pitch clock yet. I'm going to give a little time. In theory, it sounds good.

A batter doesn't need to adjust his gloves or step out after every pitch and pitcher doesn't need to step off the mound after every pitch

I think the old rules are what's keeping younger generation uninterested in MLB. I have 23 and 21 year old boys. They love football and basketball. I can't get them to watch a MLB game. Too boring and too long.

I'm sure that's a popular take with that age group.

MLB needs to adjust.

You know what’s longer than MLB games? Football games. The rule changes will do nothing to bring in more eye balls.

Brown hit the nail on the head. It'd not going to change anything in ratings. It's going to do more harm to long term fans than it is good in acquiring new fans. If they really wanted to speed up the game they'd cut down on commercial breaks between innings.
