OAKLAND, Calif. – Not everyone likes the new rules announced by Major League Baseball Friday, but White Sox right-hander Jimmy Lambert, who pitched under a pitch clock this season at Triple-A Charlotte, is a proponent.
“You’re going to come to the park every night knowing how long the games are going to be,” Lambert said. “I was in the minors for like six weeks this year and every game basically is like 2 hours and 40 or 50 minutes, in that range. You’re not going to have games that are four hours, which we had two or three days ago. Regardless of score, really, because the score doesn’t determine how long the game goes.”
