    Pitch clock is great! An MLB guy said "why does each pitch need to be a one minute event"? I'm 63, born a baseball fan, played into college. No downside.

      Two things.... 1. Carton is ratings gold, so he's not moving anytime soon. 2. I actually like Craig and think he's great as a radio personality, but he's best suited for mornings, when that kind of energy and "shock jockery" is what's needed. He needs a jock who can join in on the laughs(boomer), not a sports nut like Evan, who's best suited with another sports nut(beningo preferably)

    Carton is unlistenable imo. These two have great chemistry and actually talk about sports. I understand Carton is a ratings monster but can’t understand why. People love him apparently for reasons I cannot fathom. Really wish WFAN would get back to this kind of sports talk.

    • @eincan1313

      Couldn’t agree more. I don’t get his appeal and find him unlistenable. Evan is also a bad fit for him as a sports nerd.

    There’s still a lot of shit that slows the game down like the absurdity around having so many relief pitchers that need to cycle through a game and chew up the time and kills the mood like roadkill but at least being able to fix something very controllable compared to going after relief pitching is a non brainer. It’s a golden layup I’m shocked Manfred and co didn’t eat dirt on.

    • @chrisnalina1755
      @chrisnalina1755 ปีที่แล้ว

      Relief pitchers usually come into the game at the start of the inning so they do not slow the game down
      at all.

    • @ndep93
      @ndep93 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There’s the 3-batter rule: any reliever that enters a game must either 1) face a minimum of 3 batters; or 2) get the last out of an inning.
      It’s been in effect for a couple of seasons already.

    • @ndep93
      @ndep93 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because this new rule isn’t about players. It’s about viewing experience for fans. I’m sure football and basketball players will say they don’t like the game clock or the shot clock too much either but it moves the game along.
      Imo they should have made it 30 seconds so pitchers have more time to cycle through signs with their catchers, but we’ll see how it plays out in regular season games.

    dude no sense talking about edwin diaz working fast
    obviously some pitchers have ALWAYS worked fast and some slow...some hitters same way ...bob gibson was known to work really fast for example
    does NOT mean thats is good for every guy ...obvious different people will have different tendencies but overall the clock will be advantage pitchers
    if a hitter succeed 30% (low percentage already) of the time hes considered an excellent hitter ...with less time to think and guess or to recall what this pitcher threw the last time against him in this same situation the hitters will be even more disadvantaged
    overall it will harm the game

    I can easily argue against the pitch clock. I love the sport of baseball not being timed and rushed along like so many other sports. Pitch clock DOES take away from what makes baseball different. Every argument for the clock is that people want baseball to be like every other sport. They want sameness and conformity.
