Game Three = 3:24

The Braves won the game over the Astros 2-0 to take a two games to one lead.  There were only eight hits in the entire game yet it would have taken nearly three and a half hours of your life to watch it.

There were 17 strikeouts, eight walks and nine pitching changes and it still took 3:24 minutes to play.  In the 60's and 70's this would have been played in about 2:15 and there would not have been near the strikeouts or pitching changes.

The game continues to evolve into a tedious snooze fest.  Perhaps MLB needs to be told it needs less pitching changes and more players who can put the ball into play instead of standing in the box with the bat on their shoulders.
