Can I just say I can’t believe we didn’t find a way to move Ozuna even if it was for another bad contract player. He’s like a bad rash on your scrotum that just won’t go away.

Pitch clock already in play. Red Sox batter given an auto strike because he wasn't ready at the 8 second count.... weird.
Very weird

I feel like I'm watching a game that is almost being like on fast forward kind of like leaving out all the in between pauses when they show a replay of a game in a short amount of time. The batters seem to be swinging at everything. Maybe that's just Spring Training. Allard had those guys on base and it felt like he was rushing and not really paying attention to the runners at all. My guess us the base runners are going to be running rampant with pitchers more worried about the pitch clock and not using their allotted step offs to hold runners. |

One thing is for sure. They will be a lot less food and beer sold at these games. Besides the shorter game time, if you go out and get in a line you might miss a whole inning!

So they're basically ruining the game with this crap, it sounds like. In the 1st inning they called a strike on a Sox guy who wasn't ready to hit in the allotted time. 0-1 before he saw a pitch. |

So used to watching a traditional game that this seems very rushed. Most pitches are happening with at least 5 and sometimes 10 seconds left on the pitch clock. There is no deliberation at all. No shaking off signs, if they even use them anymore. No pauses to use the rosin bag. Wonder how cleaning spikes between pitches will go over when it rains and gets muddy. Will they allow time for that?
