re: Was very wrong with the pitch timer. Has made baseball watchable again.

I never understood how anyone in their right mind could be against the pitch clock.

Pitchers and batters had both gotten out of control with their performative bullshite routines which were elongating AB’s.

Nothing pissed me off more than watching a batter take a pitch and then step out of the box to put his bat down, readjust both of his gloves, spit in them and clap, look down the baseline, examine his bat, take a practice swing or two, and then step back in. That reached insane levels in the late 2000s and made baseball almost unwatchable, as were the pitchers who were taking too long between pitches.

Putting punitive measures in place was the only way to combat it and give the game any semblance of a pace.
