re: Love the new timing rules

Also the TV broadcast needs to adjust to the new pace. We missed quite a few pitches because they were showing replays, graphics, etc.

I noticed this early in the game, for sure. Not positive that it just wasn't poor awareness on the broadcast team, but I guess we'll see. It bothered me, but not as much as losing a strike or losing time for a bullpen arm to get ready. Again, I just don't want to see a hitter lose an at bat bc he wants time to breathe or a pitcher hurt himself rushing the pitch clock or to get ready in the pen. If nothing changes, we'll see more balls called on the pitcher, too, and I hate that just as much. I expect clever ways to skirt the rules, though. LSU has worked on the clock, and still seemed rushed. On to plan B.
