Text | [reporting on a series of experimental games Boston vs. Chicago] The intention of all these experiments is, of course, to find some way to shorten the game, and also to make more runs. It is unquestionably true that, under the present system, the pitchers often spend a good deal of time in pitching wildly for the annoyance of the batter. … by cutting off one-third of the pitching to each man the game ought to be shortened in the aggregate, though it is probable that more men will get to bases in each game. By the second scheme, if it works as Harry things it will, we shall have more hitting and more runs. |
