Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. He's also written three books about the Cubs, the latest is "Chicago Cubs Firsts."
Earlier in this postseason, I wrote this article about Fox-TV’s failure to include the pitch timer on its scorebug. The other national channels carrying postseason baseball, ESPN and TBS, include it, as does every channel carrying regular-season baseball.
Apparently I wasn’t the only one wanting to see Fox add the timer to its scorebug. During the first inning of Game 2 of the World Series, I noticed that Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto appeared to be working fairly slowly.
