Red Sox’s Rafael Devers becomes MLB’s first pitch-clock violation strikeout


At least he was the "First" at something

didn't notice at first, but it didn't seem like the pitcher was ready either.

I thought the rule was ready within 6 seconds but clearly I was wrong and it's 8. With that said, that's just dumb, dudes IN the batters box... Who cares if he is actually "looking" at pitcher

The Ump does.

Out of fiv games, the Red Sox have had 2 over three hours.

Time to cut the pitch clock to 5 seconds?

Notice that the cameras angles are very selective about showing the fans?? Producers hate those shots with people on their cell phones texting and not snapping photos of the game.

I know the ump does but he shouldn't. the batter is IN the box... Throw the damn ball!

I haven't seen a single pan out of the entire stadium in a while. Wonder why

The problem today is that baseball does not move fat enough for today's American (U.S.) kids.

MLB knows it has a major problem. Pretty soomn players will figure out to mess with clock start timing everything.

How many people in the U.S. actually watched the World baseball Classic. Do you know who won it? Wasn't the U.S.
