I'm not a fan of the time limits placed on pitchers, but this is a little ridiculous.

 

I saw another one on Twitter a week or so ago with a game from the 80s on one side and a current game on the other.  They both throw a pitch at the same time.  But the 80s game has the pitcher throw another pitch, get the ball back and throw a third pitch just before the current game throws the second pitch.

That's a bit subjective. Some pitchers work a lot faster than others. I think the average game now is only about 25 to 30 minutes longer than it was back in the '80s and '90s

Yeah, I'm sure they picked a couple to showcase that fit the narrative.

 

But 30 minutes longer would be about a 20% increase which is pretty significant.  Especially when it was already the sport with the "least action".
