Yankees and the length of major league baseball games

How much time would it save?

If only the Yankees and other teams could turn back time to speed up the game. Looking at where they could have done a better job of time usage, but that is not reality. Joe is on the right track here. We already see it working well in professional football. Where plays are routinely called in from the bench for both offense and defense. That technology is available and a proven item.

Giving this some thought, one would have to believe it would cut down on mound visits from players and coaching staff. Improve sign calling between a catcher and his pitcher. Get quicker and faster sign from the third base coach. Better signs to a fielder or a base-runner.

Lessen the number of blunders on the field of play. Possible eliminating as much as thirty minutes or more per game, on average. One has to wonder what else the Yankees and other teams can do to speed up the game of baseball.  Remember, every second counts towards total length of a game.
