Evan Longoria considers speeding up games a tricky issue | The Sacramento Bee

Evan Longoria just can't envision it: a reliever riding in from the bullpen on a cart to speed up games.

Sounds utterly far-fetched for America's tried-and-true pastime in the 21st century, right?

Yet that was one idea players had, along with cutting down on the time between innings by running split-screen commercials.

Longoria, acquired by San Francisco in a trade from Tampa Bay last month, has no interest in turning from his new third base spot at AT&T Park to watch a pitcher make way to the mound by cart from the bullpen behind his base.
