It clearly caught Bucs infielder Tucupita Marcano off-guard, who likely had one of the quickest at-bats of his career.</p><p>There have definitely been mixed reviews of the pitch clock and hitters clock thus far. While it’s evidently shortened ballgames to anywhere from two hours and 15 minutes to two hours and 30 minutes on average, it’s come with controversy, too. Hitters only have eight seconds to get back in the box, which resulted in the Atlanta Braves losing the chance to potentially break a 6-6 tie with the Boston Red Sox last week as Cal Conley failed to get in the batter’s box in time, resulting in an automatic strikeout:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bottom of the ninth.

The whole logic behind it is to speed up the sport so more people are interested in actually watching baseball because, in past years, games drag out. We’re talking over three hours. In this day and age, it’s difficult to keep anyone’s attention that long.</p><p>As for pitchers throughout the MLB who waste time on the bump (there are lots), maybe they should watch Wandy Peralta. The southpaw is locked in and doesn’t waste any time filling up the strike zone.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
