I agree that while the PbP is vastly improved, it tends to be mismatched in many areas and suffers from being too long at times. Many plays suffer from the "double three outs call" where you will get a line like:

"three down..." followed by "That's three down..."

A simple "That's three down..." would be all that is needed.

I have also seen problems with stolen base PbP when a runner will "take off" only to "take one step, then hit the brakes".

It might be a good idea for Markus and company to purchase a copy of DMB and take a look at what an excellent PbP system looks like. Doing that might give them ideas where to trim things.
