You wouldn’t think there’s anything romantic about Major League Baseball’s new pitch clock. Fifteen seconds and it’s over. Twenty seconds now and then.
And, yet, I believe I’m falling in love with baseball again because of that wonderful innovation. Time is flying, blessedly.
Spring training games have been a revelation. Pitchers throw a pitch, get the ball back from the catcher and almost immediately get ready to do it again.
