Tim, I don't think it would have made a whit of difference, because it would not have been
just Bumgarner on the clock, so the entire league would have had to adjust. My guess is that Mad would have just worked faster with probably little difference (since he would have been pitching that way all year up to this point).
One could also wonder if the Giants would have won had they been using gloves from the early part of the 20th century, since Panik would not have made that play. But again, he may have been positioned appropriately different and made the play a lot easier as well. Or if the DH hadn't been invented, or...
