Pitch clock is making an impact already - both on the field and by creating classic <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeMonaco_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MikeMonaco_</a> calls for us all to enjoy. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RedSox?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RedSox</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SpringTraining?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SpringTraining</a> <a href="https://t.co/GQX9MZaOVF">pic.twitter.com/GQX9MZaOVF</a>
