Washington’s ace threw two slightly spotty innings in his 2019 Grapefruit League debut, and expressed some disdain for the pace of the outing afterward.

There was a time when a nine inning game would be played in 2:20-2:40mins. Not just pitchers duels, but high scoring games. To many pitching changes during a game.

New way to razz the pitcher. 'Tick-tock, tick-tock, don't forget the pitcher's clock.'

Im so against this. 4 hour games are rare as they are and the pacing is really nice for casual watching.

Yes please keep America’s Favorite Naptime sport as slow dull and boring as possible.

Gee Max, maybe you could forfeit your paycheck in protest? Stop whining. You get to play a game for a living and earn more money than you can spend in a several lifetimes. A faster game is what the younger generation wants, and MLB needs a new generation of fans.

A Clock?!!!!!? In baseball? Good God - what next? Beyond stupid. MLB

Agree with Max Scherzer, these people who decide rules changes already ruined the NFL now trying to ruin MLB as well. If you don't like baseball as a broadcaster or fan because of the length of the games, go find another job or watch something else. Sick of the whining!

I'm fundamentally against 4 hours games.

Me too. Why are they trying to screw up a great game?

Too bad. Pitch

Then pitch faster. The game takes too long. You want to earn that salary...keep it entertaining!

I’m fundamentally against watching baseball players standing around doing nothing

Then tell you and your buddies to throw the damned ball. Then you can tell the batters to stand in the damned box. Nine innings shouldn't take three hours.

He has trouble counting up to 20 if his shoes are on?

Stupid pay wall

Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill balking at new 20-second pitch clockA day after Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced the league will implement a 20-second pitch clock during spring training games, Clayton Kershaw said he would ignore the new measure.

What position does the national emergency put Republicans in?Chris Jansing is joined by Sirius XM Progress Radio host Mark Thompson, GOP Strategist Rick Tyler, and Washington Post White House Correspondent Anne Gearan to discuss what President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency means for Republicans who have been split on the issue. It means they will roll over and play dead and let Trump do whatever he wants. The keys to success are: Get a High School diploma Don't have children before marriage. Get married. Maintain a job and work your way up. Invest your money into successful company you use everyday. Educate and love your children. It means the will continue with their spineless sycophancy.

Fox News host fact checks Trump adviser Stephen Miller during interview, pushes back against national emergency“Four times as many people were coming across the border in 2000 as now,” the Fox News host said. “So why is that a national emergency?” The first crack will lead to bigger cracks and Humpty Dumpty will come tumbling off his wall. Yes, because Chris Wallace is an expert on illegal immigration. Not. Miller slams silly Ports of Entry talking point: 'The problem with the statement that ur apprehending 80-90% of drugs at POE is that's like saying u apprehend most contraband at TSA checkpoints at airports. U apprehend the contraband there because that's where u have screeners.'
