AND
I don't specifically know 
how
I feel about 
the pitch clock

BUT 

I HATE 
the designated 
HITTER 

& EVERYBODY 
PLAYS
EVERYBODY 

I KINDA 
HATE too

AND
I'll TELL you WHY

I thought you'd 
NEVER ask

FOR ME
the FACT of the
PITCHER at bat is a MUCH 
MORE 

real world
strategic
HUMAN
statistically interesting 
SKILL focused 

GAME

the designated hitter
is like a CHEAT CODE on a computer game

it is more
FUN

if 
you don't 
CARE 
about the
SKILL


I SEE the VALUE of 
EVERYBODY 
PLAYS
EVERYBODY 

I SEE it

BUT 
DEPTH

is BETTER 

RIVALRIES 
are SWEET and 

ya play em more
you KNOW 
THOSE teams TOO 

I GET that there's 
MORE exposure 

BUT 
it's a QUANTITY 
vs. QUALITY 
issue


the PITCH clock 
I cannot HEAR the WORDS

without I see
my past 
FRUSTRATION

with 
american league 
FOULing BACK
&
THAT
ISN'T the PITCH clock

BUT 
MAYBE 
it's NOT THAT different 

SO
I'm NOT SURE 
philosophically
&
I haven't been to a game

to NOTICE if
it FEELS different
