 At first I kinda welcomed it, but now I'm feeling it unnaturally rushes the cognitive side of the game. |

Baseball is a snooze fest after about the 4th-5th inning even with the new pitch clock implemented.

No, I got tired of watching them dick around taking half a fucking hour to attempt to decide, to one day, in the near future, perhaps maybe pretty please, throw a fucking pitch sometime this fucking century.

100% in favor of getting rid of the pitch clock or at least doubling the time limit. Baseball isn't supposed to be fast. Want a fixed-time game? Watch soccer or football or basketball or nearly anything else. Part of the appeal of baseball is that it isn't about beating a clock. It's about beating the other team. That might take 15 innings and 6 hours. So be it.

For TV it helps but it dilutes the in-person experience. You can no longer go grab food during a half inning. I went to grab a burger in a game this year and missed 3 innings after waiting in line and for the food.

Now in order to shorten sporting events perhaps we should now shorten the NFL to only 2 periods of play this would speed up the games and prevent consumers fully enjoying sporting events. Can't have consumers enjoying game play now right.

Can't have consumers enjoying game play now right. It's not necessarily about the length of time the game takes, but the speed of play. The NFL has a play clock to speed up game play. Even the PGA has rules about speed of play. MLB wouldn't need a pitch clock if teams and players didn't absolutely abuse delaying game play in a million different ways. |

Most of yall must be too young to remember Bob Gibson throwing a complete game 5 hitter in 1hr and 58 minutes. Nothing rushed, he was just glaring at the batter daring him to not get in the box. Other teams pitcher must have been pretty good too, although I do not remember him.

I suspect it contributes to what seems like an increased rate of injuries for the pitchers.
Unfortunately it was the result of teams being unable to responsibly deal with an at-bat in a reasonable amount of time. Everyone spent too long fucking around at the mound or plate, there’s a dozen throws to first to keep the runner in check, etc. So now there’s a rule that’s probably a knee jerk in the other direction. |

There's strategy in baseball, it's just more nuanced than in other sports. No time limits, no ties. Three up, three down, for nine innings or for however many it takes for one team to outscore the other. They're ruining one of the best sports out there. Players make a shit ton of money in the Majors. Earn it. |

Dudes taking 45-60 seconds between pitches was ridiculous.
Add more innings? Also what cognitive side of the game? You can hit a curve ball or you can't. This isn't Chess or Go.

I completely agree. I have a hard time believing that the pitch clock has suddenly made a bunch of people who were undecided about baseball into fans.
At the least double the time limit or make it situational so the pitcher isn’t rushed to throw when the tie run is on second. |

My take is that last year when the pitch clock came into the game, I didn't like it at all.
Now, I don't mind it so much, especially when games seem to drag. Like tonight's White Sox defeat of the Guardians, 3-1. Glad that game's over and looking forward to a fresh start tomorrow afternoon at 2:10 dst. |
