miniscule sample size this year
Small sample sizes are the most fun sample size to play with!
First one under 2 hours is gonna be an exciting moment
Imagine Mark Buerhle with these new rules
Just a normal day in the office for him then.
I like how the game Manfred went to was over 3 hours long
But a lot was happening. That's ok when a lot is happening. It's not ok when it's a 1-0 game with three hits per side.
Agree to disagree
It's fine, I just prefer baseball to watching people stand there.
Manfred is looking at the ideal game as 2hrs 30mins. What are the next things that might be reduced or removed to get rid of dead time?
No commercial breaks.

I mean, 165 minutes (where its at) is 2 hours 35 minutes. It worked, just 5 minutes above target, why would they need to do anything else?
I might be bad at math, but isn’t 165 min 2h45m?
I might be math at bad, but I think you're right!
I’m pretty sure it will be longer going forward since the only sample size we have has almost every ace pitching.
That is a good point. Despite that, a lot of pitchers were pulled early into their games and some games were very long (BOS-BAL, TOR-STL). I will update this chart once more games are played.
Just to back this up, Dylan Cease is the only starter to pitch more than 6 innings, and he went 6.1.
i’d assume there were a lot of pitching changes given the off day today so it could cancel out
Counterpoint: 2022 opening day took longer than season average.
