While we may never see average game times south of 2:30 again, I’m all for the experiments, their incorrect assumptions about shifts/BABIP notwithstanding. I have always loved the silence between the notes that baseball offers ... but, we’re in an era of a little too much silence.
I love that phrasing, Tim, "the silence between the notes." Those pauses have always been part of what I've liked about the game as well. I will have more to say about pitch clocks in an upcoming issue.
