In baseball, we decide that a rule that is working just fine would be the problem if there were a violation at a critical moment.
The MLB Players Association wants the league to “make adjustments” to the pitch clock for the postseason.Astros pitcher Cristian Javier reacts after he was called for a pitch clock violation during a May 5 game against Seattle.
The only reason to step back would be if a valid study showed that delivering pitches more frequently within a quickened time span — 15 seconds with no one on base and 20 with runners on — was elevating injuries. If not, then just give the rule, of all things, time. Rather than imagine the worst scenario — a huge game being determined by a violation against pitcher or hitter — let’s appreciate that half a season has been played under these new rules and what was expected to occur has.
“Nobody’s looking to play 3 ¹/₂-, 4-hour games,” Clark said, “and I don’t think that an extra few seconds here is going to create a 3 ¹/₂-, 4-hour game.” Instead, as in other sports, let’s just hold accountable those involved within the game — players, coaches, managers — for getting plays off in time. Let’s not go after the rule. The rule is fine.
