I think these are great changes for Battle Royale and Events, but Ranked and Weekend Classic should not be “in a hurry” modes and should cater to people who want to play a realistic (and strategic) 9 inning game.
I’ve already timed out of one Ranked game this year, and this morning I came within 3 seconds of timing out after doing nothing but bringing the infield in to cover bunts, and changing pitchers. I had to keep a reliever in for 2 innings because I was scared I would run out of time if made a change.
I don’t know if the timer runs out faster than it’s supposed to, or there’s just not enough time, but I would love to see it go back to how it was.
