  1. This nice article primarily focuses on the pitch clock change, but to me the infield shift ban and the base size change has been more important to improving the game. Batters are more willing to go for infield hits which leads to more base running but also more great defensive plays. To me, the game has been much better this year than the last several.

  2. I don’t think the frequent arguing/questioning surrounding the pitch clock is the excitement that the MLB had in mind when they instituted it. ⏱️ #MLB #PitchClock #Baseball #Guardians

  3. If there was a hockey game and a baseball game on at the same time, it used to basically be possible to watch almost the entirety of both, just by checking the baseball game every couple of minutes or so.

    Now it’s one or the other but not both. Baseball is must-actually-watch again. It’s so wonderful.

  4. Don't whine at me about the #pitchclock.

    My #Athletics are losing 11-0 in the 4th.

    I want this game over as soon as possible.

  5. How long should the pitch clock be set to?

    Options are in seconds with the bases empty / runners on. Current rule is 15 / 20.

    Please boost so we can get decent representation.

  6. I'm not enjoying the pitch clock. The game feels too rushed now. Baseball is supposed to be relaxing. This ain't basketball.

  7. y'all know what I wanna see? a progress bar #pitchclock! Simple, unobtrusive, easy to fit in the existing #scorebug designs. You could even put stuff inside it like the inning or pitch count! And you could also have two if you wanted pitcher and batter clocks.

    maybe make it a diamond shape like the baseball zen bits?

    either way this sport has enough numbers on screen at all times, and here the precise number doesn't really matter as much as the feeling of whether they're running down the clock or not.

    *anything* but the gigantic, poorly cropped PIP of the live pitch clock board 😭 lookin at you Bally sports, owner of the worst existing score bug of them all.

  8. Here's why we have the pitch clock now in one video: Pedro Baez between one pitch and the next in the 2016 NLCS juxtaposed with 7 replays of a Jose Altuve inside-the-park-homerun, one after another. #pitchclock #baseball #mlb

    #Baseball is back bitches! So far I like Chip Caray calling the #Cardinals, but I do miss Danny Mac.
    The #PitchClock is weird and I actually don't like it. Everything feels so rushed!

  10. adding a #PitchClock to #baseball fundamentally alters the best and most essential thing about the game--its literal *timelessness,* the clocktick fading as pitcher and batter take one another's measure--and the reason the curs at MLB have done so is that, while fans might enjoy the actual 'game' of 'baseball,' the league is in the business of producing a live TV broadcast and couldn't care less about the game per se.
