It really is. When the M's played Boston a few weeks ago the M's announcers had a stop watch on Josh Beckett's time between pitches and it was ridiculous. It was literally 3 times longer in between pitches than the M's pitchers.

I had a very nice time watching the game. I love watching baseball. I don't mind watching it for 4 hours instead of 3.
There were a lot of full counts last night, and a ton of two strike fouls. I think it's time for a rule change! I'm not sure how they could have sped last nights game up. The pitchers didn't take overly long in between pitches, there weren't an excessive amount of meetings at the mound. There were just a lot of batters taking a lot of pitches and some really long innings. That happens sometimes when two teams play, no matter which teams they are.
Are the commercial breaks longer during Yanks/Sox games? Because I was checking out the CWS 8 - MIN 6 box score, they scored more runs so it seems like they would have played longer, but they got it done in under 3 hours. TOR 5 - BAL 6 F/10 6 more batters came to the plate, 4 more runs were scored, 1 whole extra inning was played: 3:18. Pretty crazy. What is it that makes the Yanks/Sox games so long?

I think they actually let the fans in in the 6th inning as to not make them sit for to long and suffer watching the game for more then 1 hour. Oh and the games are buy 1 seat and get 3 free for most of the games. :lol:DeliciousBacon said:

I seriously hope they keep Beckett on a leash with the lag time. It's ridiculous that PieFace gets away with such egregious time wasting. Of course if the ump calls him on it the Red Sox will probably play the game under protest.SeattleSports said:

I think Hughes shows up. He's been overall much better, until the last start of course. If Cervelli can keep him mixing pitches like he did in the effective starts he'll have a good chance against them. The problem is will the hitting show up.

What did Sabathia throw last night like 130 pitches to get through 6 innings?
Just about any other game if he's in that long it's a complete game.
Lackey wasn't too far behind with pitches thrown.
In these games you also don't have many clean innings....always walks, hits - someone on base....forcing a pitcher to throw from the stretch, and when in that position there aren't too many poor hitters you're facing. Any mistake or lapse in concentration can kill you.
Having said that, those things may not mean they don't deserve any criticism....I'm sure there are some things the teams can do to speed things up a tad......but the things mentioned above can't be regulated. The times can be grating, but it's a result of unique circumstances that are routine when these two teams meet.

I agree that they're long. But when the score is close and it's a tight game, it's great baseball with these two teams.

When he has the hook and isn't afraid to use the change up he's very effective. And he has pitched very well against the Sox before. But he's all over the place this year, so it's a total crapshoot.elmalo said:
