Oh, but the drama of the moment...

TV already affects the slowness because the networks have to make their
money (which MLB gets a substantial amount from). I don't want even MORE
delay (and commercials). Same thing with NFL and NBA.  About the only
sporting events that don't bow to the TV timeout are golf and automotive
racing.
