I have endorsed this change for a long time:
The Cardinals and Colorado Rockies tried to speed up the pace of play on Tuesday.
Major League Baseball experimented with having the timing clock between half innings set at 1 minute, 45 seconds. Since 2016, the clock has been set at 2:05 for locally televised games and 2:25 for nationally televised games, down 20 seconds for each from 2015.
Sporting event commercials are in demand. Reducing the number of commercial slots should drive up the price, so I suspect this move, if adopted, would be revenue neutral, and might even make the teams some money.
