If you look at the article, you can see that games have been getting progressively slower since records started being kept back in the 1920s. The recent rule changes have managed to cut the duration back to what they were in the early 80s.

Meanwhile, from my wife's perspective, I spend all afternoon watching even these sped-up games.
Does watching or listening to baseball feel too fast-paced? I haven't played much attention to baseball in many years, but I agree with you, baseball is supposed to be slow.
One man’s slog is another man’s epic.
Baseball is supposed to be slow.
In a better would we would have slowed down life and society to match baseball’s pace, not turned it in to a TikTok abomination.
