There were a total of 15 pitchers used last night in a 9 inning game. There had to be 300+ pitches thrown and, yes, a 2 run HR in the 9th won it for the home team Rays. MLB has a problem: to many called 3rd strikes, too many hitters who cannot put the ball in play, too many guys who cannot bunt, too many guys 1-9 in the line-up always swinging for the fences, too many OF's who RARELY hit the cut-off man AND WAAAAY to many managers who always want a L-R, R-L match-up and all those idiotic match-ups take time. That equals long games and MLB - wisely - does not publish the game length any more. The game is BORING and has become a snooze fest

.......... muses about ballgames and life in Las Vegas - particularly the long hours spent in the casino sports book surrounded by sexy cocktail waitresses, degenerate horse players, the Whale Man's entourage ....and the sheer terror of having Under 7 with 5 runs already on the board by the fourth inning".
