Not sure there is wide agreement that slower-longer is preferable for all ticket buyers at the stadium. Yes for the true fans, but not for those who brought six year olds, or those who have to fly to Akron early the next morning. Let's face it, you are a baseball romantic.
I've been surprised by the widely positive response to the pitch clock. Is the community of old-school, change-averse traditionalists that small, or have they just caved?
I'm as baffled by it as you are. I know folks who hate it like I do, but we seem to comprise only about ten percent of the baseball fanbase.
I understand why baseball writers like it. They get to go home earlier, and everyone wants to go home from work early. But the fans? I just don't get it.

It's the TV audience that likes it the most, don't you think?
That would make sense. Who wants to pay the same amount of $$ to go to a game and get less baseball?
