Thursday Night Open Thread

Pitch clocks are not coming to MLB in 2015, but they are coming to Double-A and Triple-A according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi. The league tested a 20-second pitch clock in the Arizona Fall League a few weeks ago and I guess they liked it enough to give it a try across a full season in the minors. The players in the AzFL didn’t seem to like it, but I guess they’ll have to get used to it. MLBPA would have to sign off on the pitch clock before it is implemented in MLB anyway.

Here is your open thread for the night. The Rangers are the only local team in action tonight — the Knicks played this afternoon in London and I assume they lost — though there is some college basketball on as well. Talk about the games, the pitch clock idea, or anything else here. Enjoy.

(Based on the music, the homer in last night’s Dellin Betances video and tonight’s Andrew Miller video seems to be one of those “he got knocked down, but then he got back up” things.)
