I agree. I don’t like it either.

Coming set and holding for a long while is an effective way to keep runners honest.

I’m a fan of the 20 second pitch clock so far (also: baseball is back!)

I don't necessarily like it. The quirky things pitchers do on the mound before

They still have about 20 seconds to do nothing.

It should only be counting if the batter is in the box

Fine, but the batter shouldn't be allowed to step out of the box between pitches

Then why the need for the rule? Pitchers, including myself would take a deep breathe or take time to play mind games

What level of pitcher? And I know of that sequence it was under 20 seconds.

Need a rule about batters spending 20 minutes adjusting their junk in between each pitch.

I think the 20 second clock applies to them too?
