As you all know, I am a big fan of MLB’s pitch timer (and yes, I am going to try to call it by that name, MLB’s official name for it, instead of “clock”).

It’s already sped up games during Spring Training by an average of about 25 minutes, and if that holds during the regular season, we will be treated to the shortest average time of game in more than 40 years — since 1982!

For those of you too young to remember when baseball was paced that way, it really is awesome. You’ll learn to like it.
