I'm a Tigers fan so the faster their games are over the better, until they are competitive again.

Also, this thread belongs in with the sports talk people. It has nothing to do with the release of the new game and should be moved where it belongs.

The funny thing to me if that people who are saying the pitch clock is silly/useless since you'll barely save any time (who are wrong, to be clear, but even just within their own argument) must then also be saying that the pitch clock isn't changing anything since apparently pitchers and hitters are just taking the same amount of time they were last year anyways.

Didn't a lot of the power hitters have a lot of strikeouts.
If a player gets a walk after 10 pitches then that's on the pitcher and maybe a little luck. I can't fault the batter as I see that he earned the walk. I like pitchers getting tired as part of the game. I don't know if timed pitches will affect that They already have to make every pitch count With the talent of today's hitters compared to the early 20th century ballplayers. |

There may have been more throws to first than almost none but even watching random games from the early 70s as I sometimes do when I play through my dynasty, what’s most remarkable to me is that guys got in there and just played the game. No constant messing with batting gloves, no 30 seconds between pitches, just guys getting into the batters box and playing. Even without a pitch clock, players still played as though there was a need to keep the game moving. I am by no means a purist but I think that actually getting the game done with is a good thing and I’m happy to see this getting enforced with the pitch clock.

Staying up for the Guardians' game on Friday and still being in bed before midnight is the only experience I need to support the pitch clock.

Get it right guys... it's the Pitch Timer, otherwise Rob Manfred will start planting baseballs around your house in inappropriate places (ouch!)
;p

What a joke in yesterday's Mets game. A base runner causes a strike to be called on the batter when the batter did nothing at. He's even in the box ready to hit. Because the base runner hadn't returned to his base after a foul ball fast enough. This is absolutely ridiculous. The clock is a sham. Creates anxiety for the players for no reason but for people who can't stand the game.
Please move this thread where it belongs. Sports talk. This thread has nothing to do with the release of OOTP 24. Thank you. |

I'm not seeing all that much anxiety. Most of the pitches are being delivered well before the clock gets near 0. |

I love baseball and as a sleep-deprived father of a baby, I'm massively benefitting from the faster games. I'm sorry if a strike called on a simple rule violation causes anxiety for you.

Yeah, of all the things for purists to get mad about, this strikes me as the most ridiculous. Like, even more than the automatic intentional walk rule, the complaining about this is just plain off-base; it’s a clear positive with little to no negative side effects. Like, oh no, occasionally guys get called for a ball or a strike because they’re being pokey. The anti crowd isn’t even wanting to go back to “how baseball was”, necessarily, just to 20 years ago or so when time wasting really started getting bad. I entreat anyone to just go back and watch actual games from the 1970s; you will see batters getting up there in a timely manner just like we’re seeing now.

I’m skeptical that we’ll see a large cutdown in Ks with the pitch clock (early results are that they’re slightly up from last year but I suspect a lot of that is due to aces playing a larger proportion of innings in the first week of the season) but even if there is no change, a 7 pitch at bat that takes 2 minutes to conclude is still much, much more enjoyable for both casual and non casual fans like myself than a 3 pitch at bat that takes 3 minutes to get over with…

Not for me. It's the plain stupidity of it all. Doesn't cause me anxiety as much as people want it to. I didn't watch the game. Saw it on the news.
