1. I actually can’t put into words how much I love MLB’s new pitch clock, but I will try.
The pitch clock is a game-changer, literally and figuratively, and will make the sport infinitely more watchable. There is no downside at all to the pitch clock. None. No excitement will be lost. No strategy will be lost.
While baseball does need to lure in a younger audience, the pitch clock benefits fans of every age. Nobody needs to wait forever for a pitch to be thrown. The antics of pitchers, circling around the mound and going for leisurely strolls, and batters, stepping out of the box to fiddle with all their equipment and clothing, was beyond out of control.
