But if youâre expecting baseball to cycle back as Americaâs favorite game, youâll need to wait. And wait. And wait. A baseball game this season takes, on average, 3 hours and 8 minutes to play, through games of last week. At that pace, Major League Baseball will set a record for longest average game time in its history. Games are 13 minutes longer than they were in 2010 and 28 minutes longer than they were 30 years ago. In an age when you can have a movie delivered to your TV immediately, streaming over the Internet, baseball seems, at times, out of step.
Major League Baseball is vowing to shorten the average length of its games. Officials have other ideas in mind in an effort to move things along. Last year's average was 2 hours and 54 minutes.Under the theory that most baseball games should not last longer than Ben-Hur, action is being taken. Games are to start on time (a revolutionary idea). Pitchers are to throw the ball within 12 seconds after the batter gets in the box, if no one is on base.t is an admirable effort. There is nothing wrong with long games if there is enough baseball to fill the hours. But a lot of today's 3-hour games should be 2 hours and 40 minutes. And the postseason often does not have games, but epochs.
