Pitch clock

[BobbyStrawberry]

I've gotten used to it with runners on base but the 15 seconds is too short IMO.

We're getting the same amount of baseball, its the ridiculous crap in between every pitch thats been cut out. I don't think its been sped up too much.

Thats with no runners on base, I think 15 seconds is fine. If anything, I could see them adding a few seconds with runners on since theres more to do, signs and shifting fielders, etc..

What is it now, 15/20/30? IMO 20/25/30 would be fine and would not add much time to the games.

I wasn't a pitcher when I played growing up but I have to think the 15 second clock will wear down pitchers when the summer temps start rising.

I like the concept of the pitch clock and it does add some strategy and actually affect Stolen bases and attempts

I do think it does need to add a little more time others said. Hopefully as they do this they tweek it

Stolen bases are say up so far, I like that part too.

Agreed I really like that. Like stolen bases and small ball mixed with the big boppers

I feel bad for the color commentators, they can't get a word in sometimes. No more cool stories being told. on field reporters and mic'd up players will die off. i used to like the slow pace, I would put the game on while I was doing something else. Now I have to focus. And this is being done for the people who DON"T watch baseball!
