Just to offer this to the pitch clock advocates:
I recommend listening to Manager Rick Sweet (Nashville Sounds affiliate), who is an awesome interview and just an awesome baseball man in general, to get a listen-in on a career baseball guy discussing the pitch clock. I want to echo his sentiments: I don't like it. And, Rick really doesn't like it.

I tend to stand on the other side of the fence, actually, when it comes to changing the game and perhaps that's because I'm a Luddite or just a hillbilly ?. I enjoy the chess-component. I enjoy giving the pitchers and batters a chance to get their minds right and their feel right. I, for one, want them to feel comfortable before they attempt to perform the toughest aspect in all of professional sports.
Just my two cents. And, I realize in a fast-paced and further automated world, this is a very Low-A opinion. I'm OK with that.
