A major component of the time shaved off games is the guaranteed 16 times the teams take the field between innings. Saving probably 1 minute or more each shortens the event, but not the actual game itself, by 15-30 minutes. The only other thing eliminated by this shortening of the event is beer-buying and liquid eliminating time.
Since the timer clock only applies when there are no runners on base and since the average number of infractions per game is about 0.1, what is the big deal about not letting pitchers take two minutes to deliver a pitch?
