Weird way to put it. If baseball really has a problem with times of games they can cut down on some of the stuff - taking forever to step in the box or the mound, trips to the mound, etc...but even after those things the games will still be long because both teams have a ton of patient hitters. No matter who the Yankees play they take forever because of this.

There are already rules for stepping out and in between pitches, but rarely is that enforced. If the umps started calling the closer high pitches as strikes (expand the K zone) that would cause a faster game as well.
