I mean, really, MLB is doing everything in their power to stop me from watching any game at all. The clock rules made the game more dynamic and enjoyable, but nonsense like this is unacceptable. This is not the first instance during the season.

This is what happens when you allow absolute pedants to make calls. Between this and the idiot calls about home plate “blocking” it’s clear someone in NY is more concerned with rulebook masturbation than they are with making sense.

Every single ump needs to be fired as a warning to the new hires.
