David Samson wants the Miami Marlins to play faster games this season.

"Pace of game is about our fans," the team's president said. "It's very much a TV issue and an in-game-experience issue. No one is complaining about pace of game where it goes 12 innings and it's 3 hours and 20 minutes and it's a 5-4 game. That's not the issue. If it's a 3-1 nine-inning game that goes 3 hours and 12 minutes, that's not enjoyable."

Games at Marlins Park last year took an average of 2:56, which tied with Kansas City for second fastest in the majors, behind Toronto's 2:55, according to Stats LLC.

Houston was slowest at 3:15.
