Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig expects to receive a recommendation in the next 30-60 days from a committee he formed to deal with the issue of pace of game.

Baseball has come under scrutiny this year for its increasingly long games, which stem from a number of reasons but in large part the addition of expanded replay this season. Selig isn't sure what to expect from his small group in terms of suggestions. Atlanta Braves President John Schuerholz is taking part.

Selig says this is an issue he wants to improve before he steps down on Jan. 25 and turns over the commissioner job to Rob Manfred.

Regarding replay, Selig acknowledges: ''I was a little bit of a reluctant dragon on that. I had some concerns.'' But overall he considers it a positive thing.
