Nobody's comparing baseball to commercials. They're comparing the non-baseball stuff like stepping out of the batter's box on every pitch and adjusting and re-adjusting your batting glove a few times or pitchers walking around the mound or taking their sweet old time between pitches. That stuff is not baseball - even if it's done by baseball players during a baseball game. That stuff is an unnecessary time suck. The pitch clock has removed 30 minutes of that stuff from the average game. And, according to coaches and players and a whole lot of people way smarter than me, the gameplay that remains is largely unaffected.
Do you miss the 30 minutes of guys adjusting themselves or stepping out over and over and over again or taking a minute between pitches? I ask this seriously because that's the stuff the pitch clock has eliminated.
