'Timeless game': Tigers decry pace-of-play proposals

Detroit — Michael Fulmer probably isn’t the right guy to ask about pace-of-play issues.

“I pride myself on under three-hour games,” he said Thursday, before embarking on the Tigers’ Winter Caravan. “I think we had one game under three hours in the first month of the season last year and it was my start. I let everyone know that. I was the one working quickly.”

Major League Baseball will impose a pitch clock on pitchers this season and likely will limit mound visits to one per inning for players, managers and coaches. The players’ association already has voted down commissioner Rob Manfred’s initial proposal.
