I went to a game yesterday and barely noticed the pitch clock at all.

Until the game ended and it had only been 2 hours and 30 minutes. Perfect change for baseball, it’s hardly even noticeable in the stadium (there were 2 clocks behind home plate and 2 in centerfield for the batter), but overall just feels like the pace baseball is supposed to be played at.

10/10 change.

I watched a little on tv and it seemed sooooo fast. Will take some getting used

That and the infield shift change were both sorely needed and appreciated

That one I didn’t notice at all. I was open to the change, but am very interested to see the numbers

The spring 2022 and 2023 BABIPs are very different

Shift ban incentives you to be more aggressive in launch angle & pull approach

I watched a game on tv and wished I could see the pitch clock.

ESPN had it right next to their pitch count

MLB.TV did not. I hope they never do.

One of the mlb.tv games I watched, it was in the center of the bases

Eh I'm glad it's not up there. It would be distracting

It's very small. Unless you're looking for it, it's not really going to register in your peripheral

As long as it’s small, I don’t think it’s functionally any different than the play clock or shot clock.

On the Yankee broadcast you could hear some people counting down the clock (possibly at the wrong time) and I hope they

Yep. All the angst on CB a couple months ago about the distraction is funny now

I think that was different. The first broadcast I watched put a giant pitch clock on the screen

Loved that I turned on the Dodger game at 8:10 and was done at 10:45 and 10 runs

But the midnight games were fun : (

I was equally surprised that I didn't notice the pitch clock. Great addition.

I went to five spring training games and didn't notice it at all except with
