I like Smallball but wish the games were shorter.
40-45 minutes is too long! I know that I could watch them in replay, but
wheres the fun in that?
I think that the games could be sped up 50% easily---theres so much down time, between pitches,etc. And can't a guy trot to first on a walk!?
If games were about 25 min. , I'd play more of em---how bout it commish?

Also---how about a STEAM ROOM/Sauna in the DT? Rubdowns, relaxation, whatever. A great
MOOD enhancer.

Thanks goodness they aren't 2-3 hours like real games. Their crawling to first after a walk is really annoying, but once to you get over a certain * level you rarely ever see a walk. Not a bad idea though. I wouldn't mind if games were 10-15 minutes shorter.

They will get shorter, when you have a new team, that is due to the walks and poor defensive playing. Speeds up when your team gets better usually around 25-30 minutes a game.

What's the sensein reviewing the games, to see how they are playing at their positions, are they fast enough to cover that field area, are they backing each other up? etc. There is a lot to be learned reviewing games and to see how they are playing.

Personally I would object to the game being sped up as well. As it stands theres a number of teams that play all their games on the last day and build their team the entire month so they peak on that one day. Thats good strategy, but imagine if they could play them all in the same hour? Kinda takes the excitement out of it a little. Maybe its just me.
