1. Baseball has needed help for a long time. The narratives around the game always seem negative. Baseball is dying. Young people don't like baseball. Baseball is a tough sell on a national level.
These things may or may not be true, but no one can deny that the length of games had become a HUGE problem for Major League Baseball.
It took too long for baseball to address this, but better late than never. I haven’t looked forward to a season this much in a long, long time, and it’s strictly because of the new pitch clock.
