Measures approved to speed up pace of play in SEC baseball

Major League Baseball in recent years has made several suggestions geared toward picking up the pace of games.
The simple solution - that will never be implemented - is to reduce the 2-minute delay between innings mandated for commercials. MLB talks out of both sides of their mouth. They want to speed up the game to improve watchability for TV, but they want to get in all the commercials they can. I agree that most in-season games are interminably long, but they wouldn't be on TV at all if not for sponsorships. Yoy pays your monaey and you takes your choice.
