The pitch clock is freaking awesome

I didn’t watch any spring training, but the pace is clearly faster. Only a couple games went over 3 hours.

We attended a Cubs game last Sunday. 5-0 win over KC in 2 hours and 10 minutes. Awesome.

11 pitcher changes in DC yesterday. 3 hours, seven minutes. One pitch clock violation.

And Fried got hurt and had to be pulled with nobody up in the bullpen.

Saw a pitch clock violation against Alonso who took his sweet time returning to 1st base after a foul ball. LOL They better practice those wind sprints in spring training.

Mets unsurprisingly responsible for weirdest pitch clock violation of Opening Day

Pete Alonso somehow gave a teammate a strike while on base.

Watching it now...Its cool...I did a whaaaaat? Everyone seems to like it better. Certainly will change the playoffs with the camera panning to first, home, mound, crowd, pitch and then all over again. The players seem to be adjusted.

It will bring about a LOT more Stolen Bases. That’s good, steals are exciting.

Cactus League did fine even with below average weather. Hell, I had to payoff a beer vendor to get a bag of peanuts in the last week of spring training.

It will be interesting to see if TV ratings improve.

Lol, you got a point my friend.

I bet VPM's congregation would like a "sermon clock"

 

[i'vegotwinners]

now apply a clock to golfers on putts, who have gone beyond ridiculous on how long they need to take on every putt.

Went to a Tincaps game last summer. Didn't know they were testing it there. It is great for a casual fan, i cannot imagine too many people disliking it.

When I lived in the Fort Wayne area I never went to a Tincaps game. What was I doing???? Life has its regrets.

I heard this suggestion and thought I would throw it out. Is it a good idea to have 1 or 2 warnings before the infraction is enforced?
