The new pitch clock is great but it comes with a few major disadvantages (no not just talking about the active beer selling time at Dodger Stadium). On Friday night, the Dodgers welcomed Cody Bellinger back to Chavez Ravine for the first time since he joined the Cubs. Given his career and everything he accomplished in Dodger blue, it was obvious that he was going to get a long and loud ovation as he was announced for his first at-bat.
Then the awkwardness happened.
As Belli took a beat to appreciate the 50,000+ fans cheering for him, the pitch clock kept on ticking down.
