The reason for MLB's dwindling market share is complicated. Much of it is simply the natural pace of the game in the digital age. They can tweek it a bit with pitch clocks, etc., but they can't change the essence of the game to suit 21st century tastes. Putting a runner on second base in extra innings would a real desperate act but on second thought I suppose it could happen down the line.
