Please, no. Just stop. Stop this foolish talk about adding more time on the pitch clock in the ninth inning or postseason or, good heavens, turning off the best thing to happen to baseball in years.
Stop telling me the pitch timer will deprive us of the “drama” of big moments. Stop telling me we can’t have any more Kirk Gibson moments because players are “rushed”.
Baseball is red hot right now because the timer has excised 28 minutes of dead time from the average game. More action, less time. And now you want to put dead time back in the game for the purpose of ... what exactly? To build a “narrative”? When did the World Series become a Kubrick flick that needs to take its sweet time for dramatic effect?
