As the 2017 MLB season has commencement, intentional walks are now automatic batters to first base (no four pitches). Rules changes in the NBA, MLB, and NHL have tried to increased the pace of play to drive overall game time down.
Does anyone think that MLS has a similar problem? Of course, a referee can give a yellow card to any player that is time wasting (i.e., goalkeepers taking too long on a goal kick, an exiting player being subbed off walking too slow, etc.).
But are there any parts of the game that can be improved to speed up the game? Less player crowding after significant decisions like red cards and penalties, quicker penalties taken by players, etc...
