Play clock would probably make the games quicker. Too many games are becoming 3 hours long.

| I am not a baseball purist, but a play clock is just too much. It alters how the game is played. |

gig the good thing about baseball is that there is no playclock
if pitchers are waiting too long the umps will call them on it and make them throw when they're told, no matter if they're ready

Donny, it does alter it. In a good way.
Because baseball should be played with like 30 seconds between pitches (sarcasm)

@Scar No you wouldn't.
Playclock: Pitch1 ------ Pitch 2
No playclock: Pitch1 ---------------- Pitch 2
You are just getting from x to y faster |

they need to fire all of the home plate umpires and then hire new ones because the calls behind home this year are atrocious

When there is a big pitch in the game. Pitchers want to slow down the game. For a few reasons. The first is holding the runners, if you rush a pitch and don't even pay attention to the runners they will just steal. The second is the concentration, having the pressure of having to pitch at a certain time frame will add very negative pressure.
Also the fact that the purists will just outrage, and keep it from happening. |
