Even after a year of it? I'm generally a purist but the pitch clock has taken the between pitch time-wasting out of the game and I am here for it!I hate the pitch clock. Horrible idea

A year of it hasn't improved it. It's made the players less likely to be penalized for it, so I suppose that part is better after a year but it's still bad.Even after a year of it?

I'll acknowledge your point on the injuries -- there might be something to that.A year of it hasn't improved it. It's made the players less likely to be penalized for it, so I suppose that part is better after a year but it's still bad.
Even if you take aside the almost undeniable reality that pitching injuries are way up due in large part to that, it makes the experience much worse.
If you just want highlights, go watch Sports center. If you're watching the game at home you can multi task to your hearts delight. But if you go to the game you should be able to go and enjoy the game. Now it's all sped up. Anytime you have to go be in line for a beer or food or the bathroom, you miss twice as much action now (because the lines aren't any faster). You still pay even more for parking and even more for tickets and everything else. You just do it all now for half the experience. And if you go for the experience of going with someone, you get half of that too.
Nope, if you actually love baseball, this stupid clock is just robbing you.
Enjoying the Mets of the past week and a half after a brutal few weeks. Bats are coming alive and loving the two young pitchers that've been called up!Mets up 12-0 2nd inning,bats are alive tonight.
I looked up tickets because I wanted to go see them, and they're already sold out. I think it would be great fun. Like seeing the Harlem Globetrotters.I’m pretty much a traditional baseball fan. I confess I’ve had some negative thoughts about Banana Ball. But had dinner tonight with someone that got tickets and he said his family had a great time. Now I’m wondering if I’ve been too quick to judge.
Thoughts out there, pro and con??? Would like to hear thoughts, especially if you have actually made it to a game.
