I don't know how it is in the Major Leagues, but in high school ball the biggest complainers about the length of games are the umpires with the smallest strike zones.
I watched the Diamondbacka vs. Cardianls last night and was amazed at how small the strike zone was. I know that it would have been different if Schilling or Johnson were pitching because they are in a group with Maddux and Glavine who get strikes called pretty much as long as the catcher catches the ball.
What are some of your opinions on why games are too long in the Major Leagues? I personally don't think they are too long. It doesn't bother me at all to sit through a four or five hour game. But I am a real baseball fan not one of the people who they are trying to market to.
