I'm gobsmacked that Buck & Pat both like the pitch radio thing. That seems like exactly the kind of newfangled technologically driven change to "the way things have always been" that they would rail against. But they actually strongly advocate in favor of it.

Even dinosaurs like Buck and Pat probably understand it makes it exponentially harder to steal signs and shit.

Speeds the game up.

They go home earlier.

I like it too. The Game is too pokey otherwise.

Don't get me wrong, I love it. I was just thinking that almost every other change to "how things were when I played" that has been brought up over the last few years has been met with the crotchetiest of crotchety resistance from both guys. Catching on one knee, shifting, openers, pen arm streaming, the wristbands with signs/assignments/plans of attack, the manager calling pitches from the dugout, launch angle, analytics and the statistical revolution, the universal DH, the rise of strikeouts, the metamorphosis of offensive approaches, the lack of complete games by starters, what kind of sunglasses guys are wearing, etc.

I've been so conditioned to hear talk shift to the topic of something new or different and immediately roll my eyes so hard they pop out of my sockets as Buck and/or Pat vociferously condemn every aspect of it. So the PitchComm thing getting nothing but sterling praise is weird and off-putting.

Maybe they get the yawns and the munchies after seven innings.

All those new-fangled things -- meh.

A new-fangled doodad that gets everyone home ten minutes earlier -- Yabba Dabba Doo!
