The fact that they are worried about speeding up the game means they don’t understand the game. Making the pitcher throw those 4 pitches allow for a passed ball, affects his pitch count, and is part of the strategy side of the game. We don’t need or want clocks, we don’t want or need “penalty kicks.” If it takes 18 innings then it eventually comes down to conditioning, or strategy. We need some executives in Baseball that love the game, and don’t just see it as a business.
