I personally don't mind the pitcher taking time to throw the ball. It's part of getting in the batter's head and vice versa.
There are a few issues I see that can be easily resolved:
- Even if balls/strikes are called wrong, they can't be overturned
- Judgment calls can't be challenged (think Trea Turner running inside the baseline to first base and being called out)
- The "unwritten rules" are childish and interfere with the game
- Commercial breaks are 2.5+ minutes (want to speed up the pace of play? Remove a few ads)
