I’ve been able to accept a few of these changes. I’ve accepted replay and inning clocks, but Major League Baseball cannot start using a pitch clock.
George Carlin said it in his ‘Baseball vs Football’ routine, “Baseball had no time limit. We don’t know when gonna end; we might have extra innings. Football is rigidly timed, and it will end, even if we have to go to sudden death.”
Well, sadly, baseball is about to become rigidly timed. I get it; guys like Steve Tracshel, Russ Ortiz and Bob Howry were brutal to watch when they took forever to pitch.
