When I pitched, I feel like I was a medium speed worker. I didn't slow the game down, but I didn't work fast either. That's what's beautiful about the game to me, every player has a different approach that works specifically for them. Their swing, the way they throw, the speed in which they work, ect. I love the fact that there's no time limit. Who can score the most before they catch 27 outs. I can only speak for myself though. I feel like today, I'm in the minority.I understand your he said she said argument but I’ve been around too long to understand when that doesn’t apply. Red Sox and Yankees were both warned about using electronics, that’s proof it was a known issue bigger than one team. Plus, the people who were blamed for it all came from different organizations right before that year which points to they used what they were taught.
Mike Fiers is a ***** too. He violated every rule of bro code and is still too scared to face the Astros.
Im in the camp of speed the game up. If it’s going to survive long term, they have to make it quicker. Peoples attention spans are so little these days. Honestly, when I played, I never slowed anything down. When I pitched, I worked very fast as it kept me in a groove.
Now that you mention it, I remember that about the red Sox, not about the Yankees though that doesn't mean it didn't happen. My opinion is there should be no warning. Immediate and swift action with no bias. Just because it doesn't happen that way, doesn't make it ok in my eyes. That's the commissioner's f up.
And, I'll admit just like you did, there's some bias as me being an athletics fan for my whole life, but I feel like Mike fiers did what he had to. I'm no snitch, but if it involves my money (which a pitcher's numbers and success correlates to their next contract, which is their money) you can call me a soprano because I'll be singing like a Jay bird lol. That being said, I never heard any conclusive result to it, but if he is, in fact, proven in that statutory **** case, I hope he gets butt violated in federal pound me in the butt prison for life
