Pitch clock ends a game on automatic strike 3
Wow this is interesting and an unintended consequence of the pitch clock
The game https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2584258 Braves vs Redsox game ended to long to get in batters box resulted in automatic strike which was strike 3

Not a fan of this new rule. But, this is what is considered progress.

Yikes. Still not as bad as the zombie runner IMO.

I DO like the speed-up rules...game moves along quicker...
I think back to when the Braves had Bob Wickman...took forever even to get back on the mound. I also remember Jeter holding up his arm to the ump on seemingly ever pitch. I remember Nomar always tightening and tightening his batting gloves. I remember watching Mike Hargrove earning his nickname, 'The Human Rain Delay'. As and old southpaw, I love me some lefties, but am glad I never had to endure a game pitched by Eddie Plank. The ghost runners, however, have got to go.

I would not like a game that actually count to be determined by the pitch clock And I think the rule has change if possible I do not want a game to ever end on a call like this

Watching my first game of the year right now (Mets-Marlins) and the clock really does speed up the game. The whole thing seems rushed to me. It's going to take some time to get used to

I'm liking this so far. 16 run Yankee game took 3 hrs. 24 run game before that took the same.
I think they should go one more --- no mound warm ups for relievers unless due to injury. Get out there and pitch! Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk |

As the clock is working let's keep it at that for now I agree we need to do other things but warm ups are fine

The Batting Glove Effect
Really naysayers.
I, for one, have learned how to use the Velcro fasteners on my batting gloves and they are designed not to slip after every pitch. I think the pitch clock proves this. The first player that I remember that had to redo his Velcro after every pitch was Nomar Garciaparra. Over the years a large number of younger players have been convinced that this is necessary to remain in the big leagues. I guess a lot of you fans and Net54 members enjoy playing with Velcro, but do the rest of us enjoy watching the ritual a hundred or more times in a game. I don’t think so.

Frank, I think you're forgetting the enormous amount of torque generated in the hands when a batter leans forward and takes a pitch. It's luck if the gloves survive the AB at all, as the velcro is nearly shredded from that much force. There are not many of us still around who can appreciate what happens when you have too much tork:
