Letters to the Editor: Why the pitch clock in baseball is a purist's nightmare (via latimesopinion )
makes some poor arguments in favor of new rules in Major League Baseball like the pitch clockThe rules are an attack on baseball’s pace. This sport is unique in that time is not a factor, nor should it be. Each game has its own pace. That is its uniqueness and brilliant design.
In the National Football League, the defense can blitz or send everyone running after the quarterback if it wants. Or, it can double- or triple-team one player on the offense. Nobody seems to cry that such an alignment is not fair or that it spoils the symmetry of the field of play. In football, a quarterback might sneak the ball for a first down instead of throwing a 60-yard pass that ends up incomplete. Why can’t hitters in baseball similarly adjust?Haven’t we mechanized baseball enough with analytics and pitch counts? We’ve practically taken away complete games and no-hitters.
