Really, really hoping MLB decides to eliminate the pitch clock in the 9th inning of close games (within 3 runs for me). The clock has been necessary and terrific, we just don't need to rush these moments. Every pitch here would have been a clear violation.

On Sept 8th the Texas Rangers just completed a 4-16 20-game span. They were in 3rd place 3.0 games back of Houston, 2.5 back of Seattle. Adolis Garcia was headed to the IL joining Josh Jung and Josh Sborz. Nate Eovaldi just came off the IL but he didn't look right. The bullpen…

My contributions to @Braves baseball goes back nearly 30 years when #10 hit his 10th career HR vs. me in my 3rd career start. It was his first career HR batting right-handed. I know this because he told me 9 years later in Braves Spring Training in 2004. I appreciated that. 😂

Three writers voted for Billy Wagner in 2023 but not in 2024. Two "writers" sent in ballots with only Manny and ARod on them. The pitcher with the most ever strikeouts by a left-handed reliever and fourth most all-time missed the Hall of Fame by 5 votes in his 9th try. Brutal.

@sullyvantom Not remotely a fair analogy. Football has a game clock. Baseball does not. No play clock means you could hold the ball for 5 minutes and win, you have to play and get 3 outs in baseball. But you knew that.

@dom_pell I like the build up, the TV drama, crowd shots, exhales by Trout and Ohtani, the look of a stressed manager. No need to rush it and no need to even risk a game, any game, but especially a big one, ending on a clock violation. What we gain vs what we might lose doesn't add up.
