MLB Pitch Clock

[Toronto Passions]

Major league baseball needs to market and address the game to today's younger'ish fans. Tomorrow's market has no patience for a 3+ hour game that is played daily. Even older fans are tuning out due to the length of some games.

It just seems that way, because almost every song has a second, unrelated song sung by someone else in the middle.

It just seems like many hit songs are under three minutes these days. 3:30 seems too long these days.

I am trying to go back in time. I watch 70s/80s/90s boxing on YouTube like it just happened last week. Don't know jack shit about UFC. Or even modern day boxing for that matter.

I just hope during the regular season they don't show us the pitch clock. I find it extremely distracting. There's no need for me to see it, if he does throw the pitch in time I'll find how because the ump will call it.

You must watch a lot of Mike Tyson fights from that era, his fights didn’t last long.

IIRC, the dist. between home to first is 90' from the apex (the pointy tip of the plate that points directly to the back stop) of home to the back of first base. The dist. between first and second is 90' from the edge of first base that is on the foul line to the centre of base second base. So the true distance is less than 90'.

ononmatopaeia: need your expertise here!

Here's an official explanation:

When is 90 feet not 90 feet but still 90 feet? Let us explain

As Major League Baseball embarks upon a season in which the size of the bases has been increased, we regret to inform you that the distance in between bases will not be 90 feet this year. Yes, that’s a lot to process. We get it. You were born into a

Maybe MLB can monetize this and get an official sponsor of the pitch clock, like Hublot.

I have noticed it all so far. In fact I'm quite impressed with what the new rules have done to the game.
