Max Scherzer to MLB: Let the umps turn off the clock during warmups

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:36:45 GMT

Max Scherzer is never one to hold back about the modern state of baseball. The soon-to-be 39-year-old veteran right-hander has been involved in the league’s competition committee and labor negotiations.So his 300-word rant about the pitch clock that came Thursday afternoon should come as no surprise.The Mets completed the sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field with Scherzer on the mound. Around the fifth inning, he was seen engaging in conversation with home plate umpire Tripp Gibson. The crux of the issue was the pitch clock and how the strict 2:30 time limit between innings reduced the number of warmup pitches Scherzer was able to throw before the clock ran out. Scherzer threw seven pitches but wanted the eighth.“You’re supposed to get eight warmup pitches and I had seven. I asked, ‘Can I get the eighth pitch? Can I get my normal routine, warmup?’” Scherzer said. “He’s telling me, ‘It’s the clock, it’s the...

4 Red Sox players with All-Star potential

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:36:45 GMT

Phase 1 2023 MLB All-Star Game voting opened on Wednesday afternoon.Until 12 p.m. on June 22, fans can vote five times per 24 hours to decide which players will advance to the second round, which determines the starters for each team, also by fan vote. The first round will also award the player who receives the most votes in their league with automatic entry into the starting nine at their usual position.Fans can essentially vote for anyone; they can even write in players. In 2018, Dustin Pedroia was on the ballot, despite only playing three games all season. Adam Duvall only played eight games before fracturing his left wrist, but Red Sox fans may write him into their ballots, if they so choose.Therein lies the problem with the annual midsummer event. Fans, by definition, are biased towards their favorite players and teams, and often vote loyally, even if the player is undeserving of All-Star honors. Facts and figures will be disregarded, superseded by favoritism.But from an actual...
