Good question. Can anyone answer this? It'd be a great improvement for the just watching of games if I don't have to endure every single pitch.

Yes, i really did play one game in less than 10 minutes. I was using Fast for the scroll speed for text.

Does that still mean it's the same length text, but just faster?

from the new features list
- Added an instant PbP mode
- Added an option to display a shorter version of the PbP

What about these features? I was hoping "shorter version of the PbP" meant a groundout to short would be "Grounded out to the Shortstop," or a single to left would be "Singled to Left Field," and that's it. I don't need all the extra commentary. Just give me the result of the play so I can fly through the game during the boring parts where no thinking needs to be done strategy wise.

Can someone tell me if it really is shorter text and if so, how short are we talking about?

yes, there is an option for pbp with the results only.

Uhh, so help me out here folks.

Where exactly does it say "away team" instead of "visiting team"?
