Chatwin Reacts: MLB's New Rules Are Saving Baseball and People Hate It 

its not just that, im 3 months late to this comment but i personally think the pitch clock is great, ive never played baseball could never afford to play, but i have watched a lot and have a friend who plays college baseball as a pitcher who loves the pitch clock, every time a fan says they hate the pitch clock, they always explain it being bad for in game experience since they cant leave and get a drink or food or socialize cuz they will miss action, what i say to that, is do u enjoy the game or r u just there to do other things? No one goes to a game just to get something to eat that isnt the sport, so the major reasons fans hate the pitch clock imo is the dumbest shit. The pitch clock is amazing because baseball was too long and it is dying, this can save it, more and more people refused to get into baseball cuz no one has the time to watch for hours, let alone everyone struggling with daily life most of us cant afford to give up hours for baseball games, and baseball fans try to say "oh well football is just as long" but football is one game a week(with a clock unlike baseball with the possibility of endless extra innings), 17 a season nfl, 12 ncaa, baseball is 162 idk if they will go down to 154, but each game averaged 3 and a half hours, thats 567 hours minimum for one team, not counting if u watch different teams cuz i watch 2 teams from nl and al, pitch clock is going to make the games more enjoyable, more action hell more than football now, and get more people interested and bring the views back up cuz length is what killed views to begin with, there is a reason mlb players themselves love the addition, if u can sit and watch 4 hour + games ur privileged, cuz dont forget not every game is 9 innings, without pitch clock a 12 inning game would be over 5 hours, last season a 12 inning game with pitch clock was 3 and a half, u need to learn old fans wont keep the sport alive cuz one day u will die, sport either evolves or goes into the history books, now they could tweak the pitch clock maybe add more time, but it needs to stay, just like football has a play clock and basketball has a shot clock, pitch clock is needed
