Pitch clock ends a game on automatic strike 3

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.

The pitch clock could be a good thing. Everyone will have to get used to it hopefully they do in spring training
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

A Game should never end like this. Maybe they should eliminate the clock in the ninth inning. This is horrible.

Imagine if you will.....this exact situation in game 7 of the World Series. That's ugly.

+1

That is one of the dumbest things I ever heard of. You end a game that never in over 150 years had a time limit and clock......because of a time limit and clock.

If you don't want the game to end like that, then get your ass in the batters box. I'm glad the Umpires are enforcing the rule, the players will adjust and the game will be better for it.

That's why they're enforcing the rules strictly in spring training when the games don't count. By the time they get to the World Series, if the players haven't adjusted by then, they have no one to blame but themselves.

Not disagreeing with the rule. I like it if it helps speed up the game and does not take away from it.
Tried in minors and had good potential.

Just wondering in situational baseball from both the pitcher and hitters side of it like when men are on base especially in critical spots and as said above I just do not want a game to be ended on an automatic out or on the flip side an automatic ball either(ie bases loaded and full count on the batter)
