Any links for a live stream ?
Assuming you dont want an archive of the game?
You would want to watch live?

 You can go to stream2watch.com has many ads which requires you to hover over the x and another x will appear which you click until you get the screen, not the clearest.
Have some more free sites that I used to use all the time, will post back when I have a second to find the list.

I love this micro managing.  :)
They game has changed big time and not for the better.
Another headscratcher by an over managing manager.

I am waiting for a pitcher to be brought in for one pitch but I don't think that is allowed unless something else happens (hit, walk, pickoff, ect).
I just found a new supply of forks!

Would you be pro a rule change that limits pitching changes? Or a rule that mandates a certain number of fielders on each side of the bag?

No,  but they need to figure out how to speed the game up.

First of all, who says? Baseball viewing numbers are not going down.

But one idea I liked is no warmup tosses. Pitcher is already ready in the bullpen.

Games arent longer than they used to be but theyve always been to long. For the average viewer 4 hrs is wayyyy too long to keep their attention.

Games are longer, more pitchers, players see way more pitches

Are there statistic to back that up,  didn't they make rules recently to try and shorten the game- i.e. limit mound visits, intentional walks. Etc

It's been flat for the past five years but overall, it has lengthened substantially over time.  Seems like the big culprit is the number of pitchers used per game per team.  So much more specialization among pitchers.  Can't find number of pitches per plate appearance over this period of time.  It has risen slightly over the past 20 years from 3.74 in 1999 to 3.90 in 2018.

1970 - 2:32 length, 2.66 pitchers per game per team
1980 - 2:33, 2.56
1990 - 2:51, 3.02
2000 - 3:01, 3.54
2010 - 2:54, 3.87
2013 - 3:04, 3.95
2018 - 3:04, 4.36

My grandfather often talks about is seems like MLB games have doubled in length from his childhood in the 40s.
