MLB game length is possibly a deterrent to adding certain people to becoming baseball fans. Which, when paired with vulgar use of running up pitch counts” extends the lengths of games. Now, a goal for many hitters seems to be building a trench after every pitch. Eventually, this became de rigueur for many players. Once it was granted, they would reconnoiter everything in between every pitch. Both hitters would regularly request time after every pitch. I don’t think “trench building” ought to be the reason for a pitch clock.Ī bit more recently in my memory banks, Mike Hargrove and Eddie Murray began a rather evil trend. When I mention trench-builders, you might have a specific MLB’er in mind.
Oliva is not the only player in MLB history to use this method. In effect, Oliva would rototill the left-handed batters box, then “dig a trench” for his feet. In one of those games, the announcer (I don’t remember who it was), was mentioning the way soon-to-be-inducted Hall of Famer Tony Oliva took his at-bats. Over the offseason, I took the chance to listen to some vintage games, including a few Minnesota Twins games from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Quicker games: What could possibly go wrong, amirite? This is an article providing a bit of a warning about the pitch clock. That game included a seven-run first inning. All the games were over by 8:30, and only one game even approached going 2:30. The three other games commenced at 6 p.m CT. CT, with Triple-A Iowa playing in Louisville. As usual, last Tuesday night, I was prioritizing Cubs minor league games.
