The first game of the 2022 World
Series is behind us. Philadelphia came from behind to beat Houston 6-5 in
ten innings.

The time of the game, in case
you didn't look at the headline was four hours and 34 minutes. Yes, 274
minutes long. It started just after seven p.m. where I live and didn't
end until after 11:30 p.m. That means 12:30 a.m. along the east coast of
the US. I wonder how many kids fell asleep or had to go to bed before it
ended. MLB you really need to be cultivating those young fans because
your future is not bright.
For the record there were 23
strikeouts and nine walks in the game. That means there was no action on
the field outside of the pitcher and catcher where fans watching at the field
and on TV waited for the ball to be put into play. And to add to the
boredom there were eleven pitching changes when fans sat around waiting for the
game to resume. Your fans are asleep MLB, but even with next year's
planned rules changes to speed up the game you are in trouble. Wake up!
