What Happens When Someone Dies Because Of The Pitch Clock?
It’s Spring Training and everyone is throwing MLB a party for their pitch clock. The greedy rich owners and brain dead Rob Manfred got their way. The pitch clock is in and the uneducated fans are eating it up. I have a question for all of those people. What happens when someone dies because of the pitch clock?
Someone almost died in the NFL this past year. Arguably could say it was almost two with the way Tua got concussed this past year. The NFL is far from perfect but at least they are changing rules to improve player safety. To the point where it’s almost gone too far. How many games feel ruined by a BS roughing the passer call? Hits to the head with receivers going over the middle of the field have basically been taken out of the game.
Baseball didn’t do that. Baseball took a step back in the player safety department. Caring about it after the fact is too late. The game without a clock that was designed to never have a clock now has one.
Athletes continue to get bigger, faster, and stronger as time goes on. The number of guys throwing 95 MPH and up continues to grow year after year. It won’t be long until we have dudes throwing 105 on a regular basis. In fact, we just had one this past draft. We also already know the number of arm injuries every single year continues to climb as well.
Instead of protecting the players, MLB has decided that trying to get a group of people to watch their games that never will was the way to go. The pitch clock is stupid and you’re uneducated if you think otherwise. Most importantly, when someone dies, what happens next?
That’s coming people. We can continue to pretend like it’s not a thing like some people do with the NFL. You are asking humans that throw 105 to not take their time and rush their delivery. In a sport that demands pin point accuracy, it’s only a matter of time before one baseball becomes deadly.
Justin Turner just showed what’s on the way.
Caring about Justin Turner and or any future guy that becomes seriously hurt after the fact is too late. No real fan of baseball ever complained about the pace of the game. Trading player safety for the short attention Tik Tok crowd that won’t watch your games anyway will never be a trade worth making. It’s coming and all of you people are rooting for it to happen. What happens when one of these guys dies from getting hit in the face by a baseball because you told the pitcher to hurry up? I’m still waiting on a response for that one. Don’t worry, I won’t get one until it’s too late.
