Eric Hosmer is in the batter's box at the 8-second mark but he's doing yard work and not alert to the pitcher so that's strike one.

Revert this rule please, going to ruin the game

Umpiring with a little baseball mixed in

And then he starts complaining instead of getting ready.

"we asked non-baseball fans what they'd want to see, and the overwhelming response is that they would rather watch umpiring, not baseball"

I hate this rule. If they're in the box, they're ready. It's their fault if they aren't looking up when the pitcher pitches.

The people who like this time thing are actually saying they want to pay more money for less show time? I don’t get why baseball needs to be rushed? Do they also want 5 minute aged wine or a 3 second smoked brisket? Let baseball linger - why is everyone in such a rush?

If a hitter is in the box you should be able to throw it. It's ridiculous that the hitter has to look at the pitcher.

he had 22 seconds to get ready lmfao but I’m sure people will be mad at this

Stop justifying the pitch clock pls

What’s the complaint? That is a perfect example of what MLB is trying to get past, these unnecessary wiggles and adjustments that add up extra time over a game. Getting rid of this stuff is a good thing.
