used to enjoy the contest of pacing between batter and pitcher. baseball is a lot less relaxing now with that fucking clock ticking down in the corner of the screen. if you must have a clock at least stop fucking showing it on the overlay graphics MLB
:baseball-crank:
yes. and another thing is the most fun I have watching baseball is stolen bases and pickoffs
and I feel like this destroys the whole balance of throwing to keep runners on base
havent stolen bases gone up a lot this season so far?
Indeed they have, they're pretty much back up to their rate in the 80s when Rickey Henderson was tearing up the basepaths
I haven't looked at the stats but that would support that the balance is off/changed
I don't understand your point then, you like stolen bases more when they basically never happen?
