4:13: Pace of Play Thrown Out the Window in Dodger-Phillies Marathon

I’m an opponent of pitch clocks in baseball, but the four hour and thirteen minute Dodgers-Phillies marathon on Monday night gave new meaning to pace of play. As Dodger fans, I feel as though we are pretty used to these long games. It was not too long ago that the Dodgers had Josh Beckett painting his masterpieces on the mound over at least ten hours per start. Maybe not that long, but it seemed like the Dodgers and Phillies game at Dodger Stadium would never end after the bullpen game went awry.
