is two days away from the official beginning of a new era.after experimentation in both the minor leagues and spring training.
When asked on"Good Morning America" why the changes came about, Manfred replied,"The short answer is the fans." Of course, old-school baseball purists hate it all – even though baseball was never made to last over three hours like the game has over the last several years. Baseball has always been played without a clock, but now pitchers will have 15 seconds to deliver a pitch with the bases empty, and 20 seconds when there are men on base ."It's still a game with no clock in the sense that the end of the game isn't determined by any timing. The game ends naturally, just like it always has, and I see the pitch timer as sort of a small change to move things along.
