Many MLB stadiums have extended their beer sales deadline this season, and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm has called on the league to use their "common sense" in a savage rant.
Due to the introduction of the pitch clock this season, games are going by a lot faster and it's a change that seems to be welcomed by the fans. On average, matches are finishing 30 minutes earlier than last season, but quicker games naturally equate to a drop in refreshment sales.
According to sport business insider Joe Pompliano, $280,000 (£223,700) to $1.1million (£878,880) could be lost in lost beer sales throughout the season depending on the stadium, and some teams have already pushed back their seventh-inning cut-off. But Strahm is horrified by the changes, claiming that safety of fans has gone out of the window.
