Pitcher and batter clocks

Gotta say, once everyone got used to them, I really liked how the pitcher and batter clocks made the game feel. Not rushed, but way snappier than before. I didn't like it when they first announced it, but changed my mind.
Y'all feel the same way? Do you think it put added pressure on the Florida pitchers yesterday?
Geaux Tigers!

I liked how Paul would use it to his advantage. Just letting the batters sit there a few extra seconds and think about that cheese he was about to sling by them

I watched a lot more college baseball this year due to the accelerated pace of the game.
I just wish the review process could somehow be a lot quicker on obvious calls.

I really did not miss seeing every single batter readjusting both batting gloves after every single pitch in every single game.
Hardly anyone does it anymore, which showed the real reason it was ever done in the first place… just to delay the pitcher and put him on the batter’s schedule. Annoying.

Or likewise try to delay long enough to warm up a new pitcher because you fricked up as a coach.

White’s swing and miss routine where he walks through the LH batter’s box always gave me a little anxiety, but I don’t believe he was ever called for failure to be set.

They average MLB game is down from 3:07 to 2:38 this year. It’s been a huge hit with players, coaches and fans.
It’s the best thing MLB has done in a long time. I’m glad college is doing similar.

The catcher going to the mound should be counted as a mound visit too.
Now, if we could just get to the computers calling balls/strikes …

Yea wouldn’t be against a catcher going out being called a visit. BT kept doing it for UF would stop that stuff cold.
I liked the clock and pace of play this year. I’d like to see the strike zone called a bit wider, it would increase swings, lead to less strikes called balls and less walks which can drag a game down.

Everytime the umpire had to take out his notepad when someone called timeout.

In the majors anyone in uniform who visits the mound, that is considered a visit. Not sure if that is true for college ball.
quote:
A Mound visit occurs when a person in uniform walks over to the pitcher's mound in order to speak to the pitcher. Only uniformed personnel are allowed to make such a visit; a manager dressed in street clothes (e.g. Connie Mack) must delegate this task to someone else. Until the 2018 season, only visits from the dugout, by a coach or manager were counted as mound visits, but this was extended to anyone on the field in order to increase the pace of play. Rule 5.10 (l) covers mound visits.

I hope in the future our batters learn to use their time to slow fast dealing pitchers down.
There was a couple teams we faced that the last oppo pitcher would fast deal and we would let him throw three quick strikes.
I think getting set later in the batters time, calling the allowed time out, and whatever else we can do to slow that type of pitcher off can only help the at bat.

These rules have made the game much more fun to watch. Watching baseball used to be a grind. Every at bat felt like it took 10 minutes. You had hitters calling time, pitchers stepping off, and it seemed like someone was visiting the mound every 4 pitches.
I don't think anyone misses seeing a batter stroll away from the batters box to tug at their crotch and make adjustments to all of the accessories. Now they have to get in there and play ball but it doesn't feel like anyone is rushed. I love it.

Pretty sure I heard the booth talk about how they have a limited number of times they can do that in a game. It's not counted as a mound visit like when a coach goes up, but there apparently is a limit.
