So far the Atlantic League claims that: by enforcing the strike zone as defined by the rule book which they theorize could lead to more high strikes and batters swinging earlier in the count; by limiting pitchers to under one minute on their pre-inning warmups and 12 seconds per pitch if there's no one on base; and by prohibiting batters from leaving the box after each pitch, they're down about 10-15 minutes per game this year. What time do they start their games? 7:00 PM Eastern time? As I have mentioned before, the Long Island ducks games are broadcast on 103.9 FM. I get out of work at 10:00 PM and when I get into my car, many of their games are still on. And they aren't always high scoring, either. How long did they used to be? Later
