MLB fans brought an NBA tradition to Tuesday’s Twins–Astros ALDS game.
Basketball fans will often try to psych out players on opposing teams by shouting out the time remaining on the shot clock. In a similar fashion, opposing fans counted out the seconds it took Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo to get up his free throws in the 2021 NBA postseason.
The Minnesota crowd brought that same energy to baseball on Tuesday. Wanting to distract Houston’s pitchers during Game 3, fans began counting down the pitch clock. Viewers couldn’t hear much else other than the Target Field attendees bellowing the numbers on the pitch clock.
