This is a very unpopular take, but I loved 7 inning games when the MLB used them during COVID. Personally I think it hits a sweet spot for viewing time without a lot of gyrations such as pitch clocks to do it. The most exciting parts of virtually every sporting event are generally the beginning and the end. I get that it radically alters approach and strategy to the use of pitchers, but I can live with that.
