Baseball was designed without a clock for a reason. Cut out commercials, not this
Yeah sure and then the teams can just start letting people in for free too. Don't get me wrong I agree that the pitch clock is stupid but you can't cut out commercials that's literally revenue lmao. And commercials don't slow up the game. They literally put commercials on in between the game lol
Well they aren’t cutting out the commercials so this is the best thing we got.
Getting rid of batting gloves will save 10-20 seconds per pitch too. Getting rid of walkup music and between inning music, and half the drip these guys wear will help too.
Yeah it’s all about swag now. Half these players suck anyway. Baseball is becoming a woke ass minority league with the rejects of those countries playing here.
@@doesntmatter5263 Explain to me how the best baseball players in the world “suck” and what “rejects” are playing. Because I’m failing to see those two points.

::rolls eyes::
It ain't about the game anymore, it's about the money.
It’s a business.
@@billythekidder7182 wowww no shitttt
@@Wayfinder3691 shut up.
Its always been about the money, i think you are thinking little league 😊
I'm from Europe where no one care about baseball (like 99% of the population never saw or played a game). I'm confident it's the same in Africa, middle east and a Big part of Asia.
My opinion as someone who is gaining interest in baseball, is that the games are WAY too slow.
I truly believe baseball could be one of the biggest sports on Earth, if games where faster.
I watched 4 games, thistweak and there was one pitch clock violation. Each pitcher and batter get one disengaged per at bat. So there's no reason they can't be ready to pitch or hit within 20 seconds. The games that I saw flowed so much better than what they had in the past.
New rule: players get to fight until someone falls like hockey
That should be in baseball tbh. The only reason it’s allowed in hockey is because it allows the players to police themselves. People tend not to do dirty tricks when there’s a possibility of getting knocked out. If you touch the goalie in hockey you better run for your life and it should be the same way when a pitcher intentionally hits a batter. People play fair when they know the price is being punched in the face as everyone watches and no one stops it until you’re bleeding and laid out.
I honestly agree. Set it as a rule, prevents bench clearing since it'll just be the batter and pitcher.
The fans can fight until a player decides to do something interesting.
I guess I ant watching baseball anymore
Don't forget that the officials will sometimes end the fight when both guys get too tired to continue, so they essentially hug so the other guy can't get good leverage!
New rule: Each time the umpire is booed by the crowd, the umpire loses 5% of his paycheck monthly.
Bro you gonna make my man broke in 15 minutes
Good comment 😊
This should be Law
No ref would get paid
chefs kiss
I'm loving it. It's been 80% standing around for too long, play the game.
Do you want a subway surfers on the bottom half of the screen or something? Ya gobshite
This is why I go to my local games instead of watching ball on TV
1. I live in Texas, so our ball stadium has a Whataburger in it, so I get a great mean and a great game to watch
2. The announcer has a lot of fun with the games
3. The players know they are only 1/3 of the reason why we are there, and have fun with it
4. People are super chill and just want to have a good time
9/10
Don’t go when it’s hot (88% of the year)
But aren't most Baseball games during the summer? (88% of the year in Texas) 😂
@@hyperblitz2070Some days are cooler then others :)
What's the price of that burger like 40 bucks?
the stadium is covered, so the temp doesnt matter?
Whataburger is pure trash bro. Go to an mlb game nerd
It’s amazing how sports are geared more towards the advertising bs then the actual game anymore.
Literally why I became a soccer fan
Nah man it's annoying af with the pitchers and batters "rituals" where they just fck around doing nothing adding so much time to the game.
You think this was geared for more advertisements? This has the millennial and GenZ’s dirty paws all over it.
@@ThisNamesNowTaken It’s 100% advertisements. The big companies want money the gen x barely give a shit about this
It's like that is the way the a sport makes money or something...
New rule… we get rid of the people making these rules
meaning you
Agreed
Yes agreed
@@biff322 I've watched more baseball this year than I have the past decade. I don't need to see you take a couple practice chops, adjust your chain, adjust your gloves, regrip the bat, shimmy in to place to get your feet, just to watch you take a ball and do it all over again.
@stugnabulah4873 let’s guess you don’t like baseball and just want others to like your opinion?
Love these new rules. Play the damn game. Not act like divas fixing their make up before every swing and pitch. It should not take 4 hours for a 9 inning game
Finally someone who agrees that these new rules are good. Baseball has been known for being so slow and boring. And we don’t need batters and pitchers stepping out that batters box every 2 seconds, or pitchers spending 5 minutes just to throw a pitch
I've started watching more since this rule, I love it
Funny thing is they blame the umps at times, they don’t make the rules
But they enforce them
@@jontargaryen1425 they have to…
"Every time a guy steps out of the box and adjusts his gloves for two minutes I'm reminded Hank Aaron hit 755 homers using dirt."
Stupid rule
It reminds me of Nomar Garciaparra. That dude was the QUIRKIEST most ROUTINE enforcing player A ever. He would walk up and down the steps to the dugout a certain way, adjust his gloves, swing his bat, and tap his shoes. The dude was straight up OCD but he was an AMAZING shortstop/third baseman.

Bart must have been pist!
Also explains why homer isn't very smart.
They will also use this to add longer commercials
Exactly
😂 cry some more bub
Bro what?
@@ericguzman9276 make the players play faster so they can add more commercials
@@ericguzman9276 less time the players take the more time their is for more commercials
I understand the intent, but it's got flaws right now. Hopefully they work it out.
You want to speed up the games, cut out the commercials.
Sounds like Television networks wanting games to finish on time.
No. It's to speed up the game to improve viewership with young audience who has limited attention span.
@Chase Richter its probably a little of both
@@ELGUAPOIV True. Baseball is extremely boring.
But even if that’s true, I don’t see how that’s a problem. That’s where the money comes from.
@@MrElephantBeach If it weren't for advertising the MLB couldn't exist, or they would require some other exuberant stream of revenue to facilitate massive stadiums, high paid teams, broadcasting, etc.
*Just change it to, "If the pitcher hits the batter with the ball, the batter is out" ~ George Carlin*
I have been giggling about this all day
Just imagining that scene from dodgeball playing out on mlb fields
If the batter hits the pitcher with a bat, they'll both be out.
Little bit of dodge ball in there now
In the early days of baseball you could bean the baserunner for an out.
Not enough baseball fans to keep the rules the same anymore.
I hate the new rules. Pitchers should hit, the shift is just solid baseball, the clock shouldn't exist and you should have to throw an intentional walk. Call me old fashioned but these rules are messing the game up.
I found that sticking to the highlight videos makes the game go much faster.
Facts
@@Tom-gv7hc facts 😂
"I would be a baseball fan if games were 15 minutes shorter," said nobody.
Jesus Christ the sovereign God loves you 😊 I hope you can have a wonderful relationship with the Holy Trinity who miraculously healed me of my chronic breathing issues that plagued me for years on a near nightly basis if not every single night
God did this healing instantaneously within a group anointed prayer over my health, doing what nothing else would for years
tbh its such a shit game i could live having to see less of it
Fan numbers clearly say you're wrong.
@@RickybobbyWoW sure. let's push for 4 innings then, and you can get home super-early.
It’s 30 min shorter now but I still agree. Baseball for most is that lazy sport where you throw it on and nap on the couch. The clock hitting 4,3,2 before literally ever pitch is too much. Idk why they didn’t just start with even a 60 second clock. It’d still eliminate taking an eternity but also eliminate ending at bats without a pitch being thrown.
This is what happens when the few ruin it for everyone
Honestly, im a fan of the pitch clock. i wasn't at first, but i am now.
Just to extend the commercials; no one has issues with game time, we have issues with 5, 6, 7 minute ad breaks everytime theres any breaks
I'm actually lots of people have an issue with it that's why pretty much everybody calls the God damn game boring
Time is like one of the biggest turn offs for people with baseball.
Not true. Time between innings has not changed.
You're a joke thinking there's 5-7 minutes between breaks.
But commercials are what pay for these ridiculous salaries
I want to see the statistics of baseball pitchers and their pitch on how time affects their ability to pitch well
I said same thing.... Baseball is getting pressure from the networks, not the fans.
They have pulled in the fences making it easier for home runs, and when I was a kid, they lowered the height of the mound because the pitching was "Too dominant" from 15" to 10" ... Leave the game alone...
@michaeldeangelo4374 lol baseball is a dying sport. Without these new rules it's almost unwatchable. Don't wanna sit there for more than 3 hours unless it's football lol. And all that extra stuff isn't baseball. Then standing around nah im good. Play ball and do it faster
@@michaeldeangelo4374if they did no one would no one cares about how many no hitters someone can throw that’s boring as fuck
@@tylercecil5634 I think ppl who don't watch baseball are clearly uninformed about the game...They need to be stimulated 24/7, and probably how they live their life
@@michaeldeangelo4374 Baseball games, back when they lowered the mounds, were much faster.
Between pitchers and batters trying to mess with each other's timing, and the (strategically correct) focus trying to get more walks, the game has slowed down a lot.
Lowering the mound was the right decision for the era. (I'm more of a small ball guy... I'd like to see them move the walls out a bit to push it back towards 80s sort of offense where you had different clubs focusing on different styles of baseball.)
I'd also like to see the NFL ban calling time out on field goal attempts. Talk about boring... let's all go watch the kicker get ready to kick... even although we know the other team is going to call time out and make him get ready to kick again...
The pitch clock was one of the best things that ever happened in baseball we went from 4 1/2 hour games to two-and-a-half-hour games and we no longer have to watch pictures tugging on their Jersey and batters twirling their bats for half the game.
Totally disagree. But it does not matter, won't go w no cash allowed at ballpark
Nah bro cut the ads part of why I love baseball is the fact the games can go on for damn near forever. It’s Always been a head game, between a pitcher and a batter and it requires strategy. Pitch clocks don’t suit the game
If they want to speed up the game, just reinstate that early 80's rule where a batter couldn't step out of the box once the at bat started. He could only put one foot out to check with the base coach for signals. Doesn't sound like much but it really helped.
Exactly. Little League rules
Baseballs boring anyways unless you’re playing…
Finally we can watch the game with that the hour instead of 12 hours
Ok someone has probably commented this before but here is the deal. Read the rules. The pitch clock has been 12 seconds for years and years. It has always been there. The problem is umpires have not enforced it. It has made this sport unbearable with super long games. This is nothing new. Finally the MLB doubled down on this rule making the sport fun to watch. But this is by no means a new rule. It has always been.
Games are an hour longer than they were in the 90s. I don't exactly like the clock, but this is a problem that needs to be fixed.
congrats sir, you’re the first person who’s commented something that shows you actually have a brain. i swear the rest of these comments have me losing faith in humanity. baseball is a game that has to be watched by fans, casual and fanatic alike, otherwise it dies. if the barrier to entry of most people is the game is boring, the sport will die. it seems like no one understands this except you.
My personal solution would be a 'Ready' timer, the timer only starts when one of the two are in position, sure both teams could stall, but at that point all it effects is time, not the players
It’s sad that it got to the point where we need clocks but the games were becoming unwatchable
@@jamesschmitt2417 Yeah, I pray this speeds up games as intended because mother of God it needs it. You don't need to wiggle the bat with one arm back and forth. Step in and get the f ready. Throw the ball!
Lots of dumb customs, habits, etiquettes etc in this game. It's all geared for some reason to be drawn and out and no fun. I grew up watching baseball and staring at stats, so it's not like I think the game is inherently boring.
Almost every game I've looked at came in under 3 hours this spring and a bunch were 2hr10min-2hr35 min range. Some were even under. I can't wait. No more falling asleep at 7:45 because I got stoned and the game is boring.
The MLB: "so how do we completely ruin baseball"
I need 10 mins of batters adjusting gloves and jocks between each pitch this is malarky! If I'm pitching I need to grab some clay, touch the rosin bag, run my hand through my hair, adjust my hat, and wipe my hand on my ass 12 times exactly and in that order or my OCD won't let me throw a strike.
MLB fans just pissed no matter and was mad for the down time now this is bad. Jesus find a new sport
This only ruins the overly slow game,,, wooooo!
Yes!
Whatever boomer
Am I the only one that likes that they’re speeding up the game?
No I don't, baseball is meant to be that way. They don't even have rules that make sense anymore for God sake.
Warn pitchers, and batters at 12 seconds so they know
Or give them a visible clock and let them act like adults 😭
@@FirewaII33 It's simple walk up to the plate. get in your stretch swing and look at the pitcher. don't dilly dally play the game.
@@chrisb.7787 Agreed, but the pitchers need a clock, just like a shot clock in the NBA. Also I don't know if they have it yet or not, I don't watch baseball much. Just saying the ump shouldn't be yelling a countdown for the kids 😂 plus this is a new mechanic, it's going to have growing pains for these guys
@@FirewaII33 they literally have a clock that is behind the batter and there's probably a clock towards the Outfield
@@demnbrown right, literally what I said. Read the comments dude, them having a clock isn't the main issue, it's in response to the op saying they should get a warning at a random ass interval like 12 seconds remaining lol
The pitch clock eliminates the biggest waste of time. When every batter steps out, adjusts his glove, tighten his elbow guards,fix his helmet, rub dirt on his bat, tap the plate, do a quick ball tug so they ain't sticking to his leg, Do two twirls, practice swing, practice swing, Finally ready, watches the Pitcher throw a fastball middle-middle, Batter steps our and does the whole thing again.
We're *really* gonna say that *that* is an integral facet of the game that it cannot live without?
Yes….. 100 percent….. it’s part of them game. They are just trying to make baseball faster to save it.. the sport is dying…
then all these calls against batters are going to be argued and disputed and managers rushing out to argue the call and the batter hanging out, shrugging wasting time? seems like a wash. Would it not make more sense to ohhhhh I dunno, chill the fuck out on the commercials and make half innings as close to non existent as possible?
@@yamaha230xxx dying? It's dead. It's so boring, it's at the same levels as tennis and golf. You want it to be fun, watch Futurama
You don't understand the game - Takes a few seconds to think about something being thrown at you, hard as a rock, at 95 MPH - Its a game of focus - not beer commerical re-runs but that's the sport today - Drink up fella's.... !
@@yamaha230xxx Sport isn't dying at all. MLB painted themselves in a corner with unfounded salaries for average players. Rather than think about that, they change the game to get more of that time used for more commercials - This isn't going to speed up the game, its still going to be 3 + hours, like football, which by the way is supposed to be 1 hour.... Hasn't it dawned on anyone why games start at 1PM in football, with the next game at 4PM? - And that game IS on a clock, so why the other 2 hours? - For commercials, of course
They are trying to make baseball less boring but they made it more boring with the delay that happens after a pitcher fails to beat the pitch clock..
90% of baseball is just pitching.
I have an idea, how about turn the field into an ice rink and give them all ice-skates. You can keep all the other rules the same..
Can't believe players are ok with this.... As a fan... Not having a clock always made baseball wholesome. Less commercialized and less bastardized.
There’s been a pitch clock in the Atlantic League for a while but it’s utilized much differently. It’s a 12 second clock but the only part that truly counts is that both batter and pitcher are ready when the clock hits 0. If the clock goes past 0 by just a little bit then nothing happens, it’s like a soft timer just to keep pace of play. And the biggest part, the timer starts when the pitcher receives the ball, so what many pitchers started doing is taking a little bit more time between the pitch and getting the ball back compared to getting it back right away. AND in some situations the umpire has the ability to turn off the pitch clock for short periods or even the rest of the game.
There’s a lot of things the Atlantic League tests and they should be looked at by the MLB because it works very well.
This was really informative. You’re league is doing it proper
I think the clock should start once the pitcher gets set
@@joeyweinstock2272 Facts and logic, bossman. That just makes sense. And that's why the decision makers have never thought of it.🏆🏆💐💐
@@joeyweinstock2272I agree. To me pace is something good pitchers use to their advantage. To say 20 seconds from when you catch the ball eliminates that. Hopefully this is very loosely enforced or I can see it being very messy.
I hope this is umpired the way you say and it's very loosely interpreted. If a pitcher is consistently over the allotted time then make the call but there's gotta be a lot of leniency in big spots. I don't want to see pitchers being rushed when they've got Aaron Judge at the plate late in a tie game. I like minor league baseball, there's a team in my hometown I've been watching for twenty years, but those pitchers don't face Mike Trout with tens of thousands of people watching in the 9th inning of a close game. There's enough pressure and difficulty in a spot like that as it is. Hopefully this comes down to repeat offenders throughout a game or a season and isn't used day in and day out like a shot clock.
Conley was looking at the ground, but the catcher was still standing. Make it make sense
Catcher clearly baiting him to keep him distracting and thinking the pitcher isn’t ready. I bet this will be a tactic
Catchers also need to stay ready until the pitcher is actually pitching if there are men on base
Conley now knows better
Dang I just noticed that! Pitch clock sucks fr
Catcher doesn't have to be ready because the pitcher still has 8 seconds to throw the pitch. The batter needs to be ready before the 8 second mark.
Fantastic rule change. It has brought me back to the game i used to love. No more 4.5 hr yankee games
Players don’t need all there superstitious moves before batting or throwing. Get on the plate and get ready to swing. Pitcher get to the rubber and throw the ball. That simple.
At least we don’t have to watch the batters adjust their batting gloves 20 times on a single bat.
No shit, I can’t stand that! I truly like to watch but it’s so aggravating watching all this little tactics to slow down the game!
I like it. Every pitch the batter steps out, stretch, scratch, spit, tap plate , adjust gloves , adjust helmet, deep breath, then finally get in the box
@@49erfanoz yea it’s lovely. Repeat and rinse that BS routine hundreds of time. So exciting.

@@49erfanoz so they can take a ball or just foul or ground out? It’s useless it doesn’t help you hit the ball at all

@Jeff Bruce alot stadiums took them away, along with the hot dog and peanut guys that toss you the food. Baseball ain't what it used to be sadly.

Bruh we still have the beer, food, and peanut dudes at Miller Park (or American Family Field or whatever the hell it's called now). Im sorry for your loss
Without a clock, If you have a pitcher struggling at the bump they will take longer between each pitch to grasp at strings. I hate the clock but can’t argue that it’s making games faster.
I personally want to speak out on this issue. Because I really hate the pitch clock. Someone's comment earlier said cut out the commercials... Do not add a pitch clock. As a lover of the game. I've seen it evolve over the last 20 years. National League now has a DH, the Ghost runner, etc. But nothing has been hyped up and oversold like this pitch clock. They even had a commercial with Brian Cranston from "breaking bad"... What's next? Are they going to try to put a clock on golf? Baseball is an art. I feel that a lot of pictures might get hurt. Trying to quick pitch. Not setting into their proper form, afraid they will get a clock violation...
One of the main reasons I preferred minor leages. It was real baseball, not a platform sell advertising air time.
They def need a visible clock on both sides one behind the batter and one in a easy place for the batter (not all jumbo trons are in the same place and not everyone has perfect eyes) if they wanna keep this around. Players should help decide in a team practice or whatever with an mlb official present.
Put a clock on the umps mask lol
Not everyone has perfect eyes? You mean like major league baseball hitters LOL😂

Can’t wait to see the World Series decided by this 😂
Pretty sure guys will be on their shit by the time November rolls around. Especially with everything on the line! The teams that make it that far will also be the ones that have players paying attention because they weren’t being hurt all season.

Did he “deserve to lose the World Series” as you say?
People will get used to it pretty quickly. It's a pretty straight forward rule. It's not like the balk rule or something. There is a clock. You have to be ready to bat and you have to pitch in a timely fashion.
@@nacoran who defines “timely fashion” and why? What are the parameters that make that number? Show me the research that led them to the decision.

@@ternedo6074 All of those are shrinking, bud.
I like the rules. Keeps the game moving. NFL and NBA both added a shot clock/time to play. Baseball needs it more, since it is one of the only sports without time.
I would disagree with the rule, but I remember a Mets pitcher that used to take so long to throw the ball that his own team was afraid the catcher was going to pull a hamstring waiting for him.
Imagine the outrage when he hears the bases are gonna be larger to encourage stealing...
I like the idea. Primadona pitchers/batters slow the game so much. It's like watching golf. Add commercials and long inning changes, and you have 4 hours of boredom occasionally interrupted with an exciting play or a HR.

It’s about more action which is what people need from sports nowadays. Specially the younger generation if we don’t want baseball to die out. Baseball games are longer than ever, over 3 hours, and people don’t have a desire to watch the pitcher and batter takes 3 walks around their mounds and bases, go to lunch, ponder life, and come back get a ball or strike and do it all over again. I think the pitch clock is necessary because baseball players are taking an insanely long time to PLAY.
To even the most unknowing observer, it's sounds very easy to manipulate the game via these new rules.
Bingo. Now you know why Vegas pushed for these so hard.
I don’t even watch baseball and know these rules suck
"It is sounds"
That's idiotic. It makes it harder to manipulate
I wouldn't say that. It sounds similar to a shot clock in basketball
I think the crowd should just start counting down all together once the clock starts… 😂
That would put an end to it if we all started counting down and making a buzzer noise it worked for wrestling they stopped showing the timers cuz fans kept counting down from 5 seconds and making a buzzer noise every minute of the 30 minute match
Never thought about that. Very clever
And took off two seconds as a joke for visiting batters
It could work to eliminate the clocks but also umpires can forfeit a game if a fanbase misbehaves in a way that a game can be unplayable due to the constant interference of the fans.
We had a really small field to play on so we changed the home run rule. Hit it over the fence it’s 2 outs, hit the fence without touching the ground is a home run. Sped up the game not having to go get the ball all the time.
No, these rules suck🤬👎
add another rule. Every time a batter steps out of the box to scratch his balls or redo his gloves he is charged a strike.
There was already a rule where an ump could call balls and strikes if a pitcher or a batter were, in his opinion, delaying the time on purpose. Umpires didn't enforce that because fans started to think umpires shouldn't be visible and enforcing rules: idiot fans who don't know the rules.
Now when these calls are followed by a bad ball/strike call people will be sent to the showers like wildfire.
Lol ah here's some common sense. Something lacking in the meetings creating these ridiculous changes
I like it! People don't complain about timing in football. And basketball? You move the ball past mid court and then have to shoot for the basket in so many seconds.
No, I don’t like it. It’s ruining the point of baseball and messing with people’s mojo
Major sports leagues seem to just absolutely hate the sports they represent. They seem to do everything possible to make the sport worse.
100%
I'm surprised everyone hates this. If it works as it's supposed to it's a massive improvement. I'm so sick of 45 seconds between pitches.
@@guyincognito320 it's just a schedule thing for ads man. And also just a weird ass rule.
@Warriormedic68 They actually do care about long games. That itself is a financial motivation. They're trying to increase the action rate and reduce the total length of time commitment. They're not just gonna try to save baseball by replacing all those inactive baseball aesthetics between pitches with commercials. At some point the cynical money hypothesis becomes silly.
@@guyincognito320 I'm sure your boyfriend agrees with you

Hello, writing from the future. The regular season is now over. Prior to this year, nearly 20% of games lasted more than three hours and thirty minutes. This year: 2%. The average game time decreased by a half hour compared to 2022. Attendance from last season to this is up the second most in 26 years. National viewership is up 31%.

Once players get used to the new rules I cannot see that happening.
@@Ueiksgwow 25 minutes what a time saver😮
If a team goes 162 games with a rule in place, and end up missing the playoffs because they couldn’t follow a rule they had 6 months to adapt to, that’s 100% on them.
@Austin Willier it reduces it by almost 17%, which is a huge time-saver. This is a change for the better.
The pitch clock is awesome. Do poll and see how many want it and how many don’t.
If baseball wasn't hard enough to watch. Phht!😤
These rule changes are gonna be the deciding factors in big monent spots. Grab your 🍿
good they can figure it out
In the history of baseball rules changes have been plenty. mlb is doing this to shorten the game but keep all the mean mugging bat flipping offense. It's dumb.
This is what happens when you let people who DO NOT LIKE watching baseball, make the rules for watching baseball. Welcome to the new America
It’s better! Baseball was dying. Your welcome.
Lol baseball is dying out
I don't like baseball I still think this is stupid
Fuck that I don’t watch baseball and this is bullshit!!
@@colinwest8658The complete opposite actually. The 2022 regular season and postseason, as well as the WBC had the most viewers than any of the prior seasons in the 2010s. All without a pitch clock but more advertising and social media presence.
Learn the banana ball rules and get after it boys
The number of divorced dads in this video is amazing.
you must be a tiktok comedian.
Just remember, this was caused from other players playing fuck fuck games at the plate and on the mound. Blame them for making this a thing to begin with.
it's a sport dude. a game for _fun_
The time clock was created for commercials not for the sport enthusiasts
@@JackTheRustler1332 the pitch clock was created _for_ commercials you dolt. Also, did you really just play a victim card because a sport didn't cater to your own specific needs? Jc...
@Kevin Urbina nothing you just said related to what I had to say. My point was that you are complaining like the MLB is forcing you to watch its game. Change the channel, find a different hobby. You just blamed baseball for making you sit for 5+ hours...that's your fault and no one else's. This is a give a mouse a cookie situation and you can't seem to understand that. That being said, I am going to reiterate it's a game for fun and you are hypocritically begging for another option to fill your time up in a day to be lazy while simultaneously calling me the unemployed lazy one? Lay off the crack pipe...
@@sawyeratkinson if they created it for commercials then they fucked themselves out of 25 minutes of commercials a game
As an athletic trainer, I worked with a college coach who had our team stall for an entire game. He felt that we were playing against a team we could not beat. He reasoned that if we took long enough in the first game of the doubleheader, we could get the second game called on the Count of darkness. That way we would not have to take two losses. I would have absolutely loved some hurry up rules.
What an absolute bitchmove by that coach
Reminds me in highschool basketball a team was gonna lose to our varsity team so instead of playing they just held the ball basically the entire game because there was no shot clock and the game ended like 12-6. It was horrible 😂
Lol
@jordanbailey8251 the classic John Wooden strategy eh?
This happened to me in football, it would start to gst dark at 6 and we could barely see the ball. I was on JV.
This is a great rule, the game is too slow let's get to the action
Look at the videos from the 1940s to the 80s. When the pitcher got the ball from the catcher, 4 to 7 seconds later he threw it. Most games were around 2 hours or less. Today MLB wouldn't stand for it. The more commercials the better
"There's no CLOCKING in BASEBAAAAAALLL!!!"
good one lol😊
Well it should be. All other sports do it. Hurry up and play.
10/4! Champ.
I remember hearing one time that someone counted all the time the ball was in play, from the time it left the pitchers hand to the time he got it back, and it was something like a three hour game boils down to 16 minutes of actual game.
Sounds a lot like football. Average actual playing time in an NFL game is only like 11 mins. Mind boggling to think people pay the money to watch 11 mins of a game being played.
@@justtosaythis2087 there is A LOT more strategy that goes on between plays in football. Play-calls that convey the actions of 11 different players need to be decided & reported in on each side. The offense shuttles players in & out of the field of play. The defense has to interpret these subs, adjust, and shuttle players in & out accordingly. The offense then sets up its formation. The defense has to interpret & adjust its formation. Both the offense & defense typically have pre-snap movements/motion to try to interpret their opponent's plays, and these motions can completely change the schema of a play from the initial formation. From the moment the previous play is over, there is (typically) only 40 seconds between snaps and only 25 seconds after the ball is spotted. This is actually A LOT of decisions/movements to stuff into 25-40 seconds between plays. The layperson may see this as "nothing going on", but there is carefully managed chaos going on down on the field between plays. An astute fan can pick up a lot of information if they pay attention to the between-play movements. If the playclock time is exceeded, then a delay of game penalty is called.
In contrast, there is typically minimal movement of players in between baseball pitches. Only in rare cases are players subbed in/out. Coaches' play-calls are typically less complex and involve fewer people. Most of the decision-making is being done by 3 players - pitcher, catcher, and batter. The remainder of the defensive players & base runners are typically using just situational awareness to decide their placement/actions (if not instructed to steal by the base coach, which is very rare - I'll touch on that later). There may be a lot of posturing between the pitcher & batter (the crux of the pitch timer decision), but there is usually very little meaningful movement. This changes somewhat when runners are on base, but still comparatively a lot less "pre-play" movement than football. Despite this, some pitchers routinely use the same amount of time after receiving the baseball as NFL teams do after the football is spotted (25 seconds).
In addition, each average football play has significantly longer "action time" than baseball - plays typically lasting significantly longer (avg 3-6 seconds depending on the type of play) compared to (~0.5 seconds per pitch). An average MLB at bat has ~5 pitches. On average, any given pitch has about a 21% chance of being hit in play and only about a 6% chance of being a successful on-base hit. These are just averages - obviously this varies a lot by batter and some players approach closer to 0-2%. But this means that means approx 75-80% of baseball "plays" do not exceed ~0.5 seconds in length. Theoretically, baseball has more potential for action at any time between pitches/plays, for base runners can take off and steal at pretty much any moment, but this is relatively rare event (MLB avg 1 attempted steal per game) and is also quite short in duration when it does occur.
Therefore, by it's nature & structure, football requires more time between plays but each play delivers considerably more true "action time" on average (5-10x more per play) compared to baseball. Teams are also penalized if they exceed the playclock allotted time. In contrast, baseball requires less time between pitches and delivers less average "action time" per pitch/play. Thus, it seems reasonable that the pitch clock time should be a little less and that there should also be a penalty to enforce it.
@@justtosaythis2087 Nowadays NFL puts out condensed games on youtube average is 10-15 mins long. I stopped watching full games completely.
@@bryced5 I'll be honest. I hate the NFL and MLB. So you literally just wasted however much time you took to type that. I would genuinely rather get a root canal than sit and watch a football game. The only point I was making is the fact people spend 3 hrs watching a silly 15min game with a bunch of overpayed and frankly overrated players. But hey you do you boo.
I guess it wasn't an overtime game
No because now Valdez on the Astros can’t do the cha cha
I'm not a huge fan of baseball. But I do watch it here and there. All I gotta say is. I like that it has a time for the pitcher. It'll make the game go a lot more faster and smoother
I will only accept this rule if players can fight the refs or challenge the call.
What's to challenge?
No, full on bare knuckle the ref
I second this notion.
Challenging was introduced some years ago. Each team is allowed to have 1 challenge.
@@th3thrilld3m0nObviously. But not everything is challengable.
How about we leave baseball alone?! It's called America's Pastime for a reason, not America's Savetime.
I think baseball is taking itself way too seriously
The final 4 games I went to were 15 years ago, and they made up almost a full day of that year. 4 games at 5 hours + a pop.
That's a ballsy rule to enforce on a group of people with baseball bats XD
Which is why the ones that makes those rules are never there with them
Yeah kinda BALLsy although if they keep making dumb rules they're gonna go on STRIKE
Don't forget the balls that they are trained to throw at damn near 100 mph lol
@@MasterfulPaladin yup. This one is always more dangerous. They can pop your ass from damn near any distance and while on the run. I think after they get used to the “shot clock,” they should bring in peg outs. That would pep up the game a bit huh!?
damn baseball really said these people rather be somewhere else so let’s get them out of here quick ☠️
I mean who even watches baseball anymore? I used to hear about games growing up but I haven't heard anyone talk about baseball in 10 years
@@whocares5188 ok. neat anecdote.
@@ChunkyLover53atAOL-com someones triggered🤭
people will tune in if all the shots aren’t super zoomed in and cutaway. Film from behind the batter and let’s watch baseball
@@whocares5188 in person the sport is awesome, on tv they have so many cutaway shots you can’t even watch the drama of a ground ball; imagine football coming in so we can only see the quarterback head on until we cutaway to another player that gets the ball, maybe already tackled and we didn’t even get to watch the offense or defense React in real time- that’s baseball’s problem
Tbh this rule makes sense when you look at it in a money aspect. It shortens the game allowing for people who don’t watch baseball to feel less of a demand on watching it live
Personally I have loved the new rule. Watching the last season was great. It added some pace to a slow game and encourages players to innovate. I would still love to see the time between innings drop instead though. Maybe take half the time between innings and add it to the time for pitchers instead.
Spring training is meant to work out the kinks. Hopefully, MLB can figure this out.
Best comment so far... here, have my one _thumbs-up_
And btw it only took me 19 seconds to post my comment after the first keystroke, so UA-cam won't delete it 😂
This was determined to be a terrible rule in the Atlantic League, and the MLB is still trying it out. As dumb as it is, I think it’s going to be with us for a bit, but I’m crossing my fingers it won’t be.
Hopefully Manfred gets tossed put on his rear-end
@@bwcritch pretty sure it cut 30 min off average game time, and the players got used to it by mid-season
@@tarnantula getting use to something doesn’t mean the players liked it. I’ve gotten use the my commute to work, but I promise you I don’t like it.
Honestly if you start your windup before the clock ends it should still count
It does watch a game
@@josephpavone4574 then why did it happen in the video Joseph???
@@josephpavone4574 you gotta have the ball out of your hand.
Nope
@@hughmungus7621 it didnt. the video added that timer, it wasn't accurate to what was actually happening.
Do you guys watch baseball, or know the rules?
I love it. The average game time has shrunk from over 4 hours to now less than 3:30
25 seconds would be a lot more fair I think. I only want the extremes to be cut out/down, since some guys like to take half a century. Still reduce games by a few minutes, but that extra 5 gives more breathing room for normalcy
For those who don't know, MLB tested this in the minors for a long time, and at first there were a bunch of incidents but players adjusted and then it was fairly rare. Baseball needs to speed up play if they want to grow. It's insane how long it takes between pitches.
Speeding up the game won't help baseball. These rules will chase more fans away than bring in new ones or bring back old ones.
All sports make rule changes to make their sports better but I don't know of any that make changes that will effect the strategy of the game for the sole purpose of simply shortening the game.
The only reason they are shortening the game is revenue. The games still cost the same no matter how long they are. It's all about money, not bringing people to the game.
@@ScottCleve33 Maybe it won't help, but they have to try something. I'd rather watch a little league game than MLB because little league is constant action. They pitch, then they pitch again 10-15 seconds later. In MLB, I have to watch the pitcher walk around the mound while he picks at his belt and hair while the batter re-does his gloves and whatnot. None of that is necessary.
@@Butcho22 see that stuff never bothered me. It's baseball. There's a reason why it never had a clock before. I'd rather see them take their time rather than rush to beat a clock. All these changes have only turned me off to the game
If the changed the rules without messing with the fundamentals or strategy of the game I don't mind but all these changes are for no reason other than to speed it up.
No
