The Juggler said:Hi! said:They’re gonna have to have a really solid game plan on how they wanna pitch to batters now. They know they are gonna be on the clock, so pitchers and catchers gonna have to really be on the same page with a lot of the “what ifs”. Not that they don’t do that already but it seems even more so now. Obviously less time to decide how you wanna attack the batter.

I guess an ancillary benefit of having games be over around 9:30 as opposed to 10 is more kids get to see full games before having to go to bed.Detroit 2000, Detroit 2003 1-2, Grand Rapids VFC 2004, Philly 2005, Grand Rapids 2006, Detroit 2006, Cleveland 2006, Lollapalooza 2007, Detroit Eddie Solo 2011, Detroit 2014, Chicago 2016 1-2, Chicago 2018 1-2, Ohana Encore 2021 1-2, Chicago Eddie/Earthlings 2022 1-2, Nashville 2022, St. Louis 2022

I think what has slowed the game down is mostly pitcher changes related. Starters going less innings and 4+ relievers being used to finish the games has slowed things down significantly.It's a hopeless situation...0 -

Starters going less innings and 4+ relievers being used to finish the games has slowed things down significantly.The evolution of the game is definitely an interesting aspect. And the relief pitching now, JFC! They have a different pitcher for every situation it seems. Agreed that that adds a lot of extra time compared to the past. Do pitchers need to warm up again on the mound after warming up in the bull pen already? I like when a pitcher pitches his 8 innings and relief comes in to close it in the 9th. Game over . Good night. Lol
IDK, there have been a lot of rule changes and evolution that has taken place in baseball over the years and the game seems to always find a way to even/level itself out when it comes to the new/different dynamics. Time will tell.Post edited by Hi! onDetroit 2000, Detroit 2003 1-2, Grand Rapids VFC 2004, Philly 2005, Grand Rapids 2006, Detroit 2006, Cleveland 2006, Lollapalooza 2007, Detroit Eddie Solo 2011, Detroit 2014, Chicago 2016 1-2, Chicago 2018 1-2, Ohana Encore 2021 1-2, Chicago Eddie/Earthlings 2022 1-2, Nashville 2022, St. Louis 2022

Funniest part to me was Joe Buck asking his sidekick to fill some time before Baez threw his next pitch.0
