Oh I definitely notice and mind. I really hate how the commercial breaks are longer and the games end so much later in the playoffs. I live on the East Coast which amplifies the aggravation. It's also a turnoff for potential younger viewers.
Baseball doesn't want to do away with the extra revenue from the commercial breaks even though it impacts the pace of the game far more than any of these other not really broken things they are trying to fix. The whole thing is so dumb. They don't want to take out the commercials in the playoffs, they don't want to depress offense by raising the mound or something like that and yet somehow magically, they want to make the game shorter.
