Good morning, baseball fans!
There were many new rules before this season, and everyone has been adjusting to them the best they can. One of those being the new pitch clock system, which has caused problems for pitchers, batters and even umpires. But also concession sales.
Citing the shortened length of games due to the pitch clock cutting down on the length between pitches, some ballparks claim to have been beginning to feel the hurt at the concession stands. Last call during a baseball game is usually after the seventh inning. But with that hitting closer to the two hour mark of a game now than the previous two hours and fifteen minutes, some organizations have opted to push the cut-off back to the eighth inning.
