“Baseball is too slow!” complains the young sports fan, who took a break from trashing their own friends on Instagram and watching sound bytes from a movie to avoid having to watch the whole thing, in order to weigh in. “I don’t have time to sit there while oh wow that’s shiny hey did I post a picture of my breakfast yet?”
OK so the problem isn’t baseball, it’s modern society, but still...we all have our limits. I remember watching “The English Patient” and thinking I had just wasted 2 perfectly good years of my life. No one really wants to sit there and watch Mark Canha adjust his batting gloves while waiting for the pitcher to return to the mound from his pensive stroll vaguely towards shortstop to decide whether to throw a slider or take another pensive stroll this time vaguely towards second base.
