TAMPA, Fla. — What do Dua Lipa, Bill Maher, and MLB all have in common? They all have new rules. There has been much talk this spring about the rule changes, specifically the pitch clock.
Initially, I was not a huge fan of having a clock in baseball. It’s the only team sport where you can’t run out the clock by stalling or taking a knee. With all of the chaos going on in the world, sometimes one wants to escape for three to four hours. Yet if one looks at all of the potential positive outcomes, there’s not a lot to dislike unless perhaps you’re a beer vendor or have a weak bladder.
