We can all thank the baseball gods, Major League Baseball and the pitch clock for a more watchable game.
The pitch clock is seen as the Tampa Bay Rays’ Luke Raley stands near the on deck circle in the second inning of a baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles, Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023, in Baltimore. But it was actually 1,579 minutes shorter than their 94-loss season a year ago.
Plus, it was nice to often see the fans — especially the kids — still in the stands at the end of the night. The 3 1/2-hour games that used to be commonplace at Coors Field are not so common anymore. • The longest game at Coors Field this season was 3:38 for an 11-inning, 9-8, walk-off win over the Yankees on July 16. The longest home game in 2022, was 4:14 for a 10-inning, 13-12 walk-off win over the Marlins on June 1. That was the second game of a doubleheader of what should be remembered as a truly ugly day for baseball. The Marlins won the first game, 14-1, in a game that took three hours., in 2023 there were only nine games that lasted 3 ½ hours or longer.
MLB’s pitch clock has remained the same for the postseason, which averaged 3:23 for nine-inning games last year. Not everyone was thrilled with that policy, with some believing that playoff baseball is a bit of a different animal.
