The new pace of the game is WAY better. It used to be that later innings could take 45 minutes each, with multiple pitching changes, and everyone collecting their thoughts between each pitch - it could be torturous, if you had things to do. When I taped a game, I always ran it for 4.5 hours, to ensure I caught the shole thing. Now, you can count on a game being between 2.5 and 3 hours, like a hockey game. And some are under 2.5
It's a massive improvement from a fan-viewing perspective.
And the time clocks add a dimension of pressure, which is also cool.
