Tony Clark, head of the players union, indicated the players are concerned about the pitch clock impacting meaningful games in October and said they are in touch with MLB about those concerns.
But they seem to have found one thing, at least for the next few months: Clark indicated the players are concerned about the pitch clock impacting meaningful games in October and said they are in touch with MLB about those concerns.
“The players that have been on the on-field committee and that are newly on the on-field committee have been consistent in that regard,” said Clark, who added that he is “hopeful” that MLB can “make adjustments” to the pitch clock, implying that a few extra seconds — rather than doing away with the clock entirely in October — would feel like a palatable solution. He said the union has “represented” its suggestions to MLB and that it is glad to find the “lines of communication are open.
“I have thought about this a lot. I’m not sure that I would like to see the extra-inning rule that we use during the regular season move to the postseason. I just think the difference between the pitch clock and the extra-inning rule is the extra-inning rule is kind of, by definition, outcome-determining,” Manfred said. “Whereas, not so much with the other rules.”, the average time of postseason games in 2022 was about a half-hour longer than that of regular season games .
“[Postseason games] tend to be a little bit longer anyway,” Clark said. “However, considering we just played a 162-game season, considering there are only a handful of teams, despite the expanded playoffs, that actually make it to the postseason, nobody is looking to play three-and-a-half, four-hour games. I don’t think that an extra few seconds here and there is going to create a three-and-a-half, four-hour game.
“Giving back the progress we’ve made is something we have to really pay attention to, whether it’s in the postseason or otherwise,” Manfred said. “That’s all I can say.”
