NEW YORK, N. Cheap Heat Jerseys .Y. - Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig hopes for incremental progress from his new committee that will try to take steps to shorten game times.Nothing huge, but significant, Selig said Tuesday, a day after announcing the new panel. I just think theres some things that we can do that wont disturb the game and its history and tradition but will maybe do things a little better.Atlanta Braves President John Schuerholz chairs the committee, which includes Commissioner-elect Rob Manfred, players association head Tony Clark, Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner and partner Michael Gordon, New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson and Major League Baseball Executive Vice-President Joe Torre.The average time of a nine-inning game has increased from 2 hours, 33 minutes, in 1981 to a record 3:03 this year. When Manfred was elected commissioner last month, many owners said speeding up the pace of play and decreasing game times was a top priority.Selig said it would be wrong to blame increased use of instant replay this year. MLB says the 1,230 video reviews through Monday have averaged 1 minute, 46 seconds.I remember Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, my pal Sparky Anderson, Lou Piniella throwing bases, kicking dirt, wild for 10 and 12 minutes, Selig said. We dont have that anymore. So do I believe that this has contributed? I do not.Selig spoke at Yankee Stadium to present Derek Jeter with the Commissioners Historic Achievement Award. Jeter cautioned against changing the rules too much.The great thing about baseball is theres no clock, Jeter said. Some fans come to the games, they enjoy the experience. They want to stay here for a long time.MLB cant alter the rules for 2015 without agreement from the players association, but could implement changes unilaterally with one year advance notice.Retired star Ken Griffey Jr., speaking in Oakland, said the pace of play isnt the issue.What, tell people they cant get out of the box? he said. The issue, parents or anybody else, theyve got a go time. No matter whats going on during the day, if theyve got kids, were going to leave at 9:30, thats our go time. It doesnt matter whats going on in the game. Theyll listen to it on the radio. Ive got three kids, I know that go time. I know that by heart.Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said baseball should be careful of those doing the most complaining about game times and nodded at media assembled in front of him.Some of that is part of the beauty of the game, he said.Chicago Cubs manager Rick Renteria advocated the enforcement of current rules, such as 8.04, which states: When the bases are unoccupied, the pitcher shall deliver the ball to the batter within 12 seconds after he receives the ball. Each time the pitcher delays the game by violating this rule, the umpire shall call Ball. I think that we as managers or coaches, when we sit here and were watching, the tempo, the pace of the game, with some pitchers its a turtles pace. It can be a little disheartening, Renteria said. Your defence starts to kind of get lax.___AP Sports Writers Janie McCauley and Andrew Seligman contributed to this report. Chris Bosh Jersey .

After a re-evaluation of the ulnar collateral sprain in his right elbow on Monday, Patrick Patterson, who has missed the teams last five contests, was ruled out of game action for another seven days, though he will be able to return to limited basketball activity. Patterson, wearing a supporting brace on his injured elbow as he got some work in during Raptors shootaround, was disappointed to hear the news. "[Its] more bad news than good," he admitted ahead of Tuesdays game in Atlanta. "I had hopes that I would be able to come out here and participate with the team and get back to basketball." The Raptors versatile back-up said hes experiencing very little pain in his right arm, just discomfort, one of the reasons why he had hoped to be back on the court by now. "From when it initially happened up until now I had pain, constantly, on the court, certain types of movements or certain types of contact would aggravate it," said Patterson, who leads all Toronto reserves in scoring, averaging 9.7 points along with 5.2 rebounds since being acquired from Sacramento on December 9. "But now, today, theres very little pain. All the movements that hurt before dont hurt now. In my mind, Im thinking I can [play] just going off that pain factor, but doing the ultrasound and seeing the images and seeing how far its come along to today, Im definitely happy to know how soon I can return." Its not clear exactly how Patterson initially sustained the injury. He believes it originally occurred in a game against the Wizards back in February and he aggravated it in a win over the Kings on March 7. "It is frustratting," he said, not being able to pinpoint exactly how he hurt his elbow. Wholesale Heat Jerseys. "If I knew what happened, hopefully I could prevent it from happening again." Patterson had become one of the teams most valuable and consistent contributors, anchoring a second unit that has been much improved since his arrival in December. In his absence, Dwane Casey has used the trio of Steve Novak, Chuck Hayes and Tyler Hansbrough as stopgaps off the bench. Unlike Patterson, a well-rounded, two-way player, his three replacements are best suited in situational roles. Each forward has stepped up to some degree, but Pattersons shoes have not been easy to fill. Without Patterson in the lineup over the previous five games, the Raptors bench has been outscored by a total of 50 points. The oppositions reserves have bested them by 65 alone over the last two contests. "At least we have to hold serve," Casey said of his second unit. "Weve got to find a go-to player or a guy that can produce for us, point-wise, with that second unit. Pat was giving us some points or at least spacing the floor for us where it did give [Greivis Vasquez] opportunities to drive to the basket." Casey would not call the latest news on Pattersons injury a setback. The team was not expecting him to be able to return right away. The Raptors forward will be assessed again after this seven-day period and if the new timetable holds true he should miss another four-to-six games. "It could be worse, thats the way I always look at it," said Patterson. "Thats what my team and the training staff is telling me, it could be worse, but youre in a positive situation, at least you know where you stand and how soon you can come back." ' ' '
