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

I wonder how much of that player input is driven by simple preference vs. concern about working conditions. The shift, for instance, doesn't seem to have a big impact on working conditions.
The pitch clock seems very stressful
Yeah, that one I can see being a legit working conditions issue (especially if pitchers think it will impact the likelihood of injury). But voting against both suggests at least some of the decision is just preference.
