Arihara is basically the right handed version of Kikuchi. Even the delivery looks the same.
Same end result though, lol.They're quite different stylistically though. Kikuchi has a fairly narrow arsenal whereas Arihara is the kind of kitchen-sink-arsenal guy that you tend to see with Japanese pitchers.
Wow. This game should be a sure W.
Yea I should have kept quiet.Don't tempt the baseball gods like that.
what is the penalty for going past the pitch clock? or what will it be
im guessing some pitchers are going to get tossed, the confrontations between umps and pitchers will go up 100 fold even after the sticky stuffA ball will be called if a pitcher goes over the time, and a strike will be given to the batter if he is found in violation of the pitch clock.
From everything I read, people love the pitch clock in the minors.
The games take too long. This game likely takes 4 hours.

Yeah it'll be hard to find people who hate the pitch clock.
I doubt there is anyone left alive, but it would be interesting to know how basketball players felt when the NBA put in the shot clock. Kind of the same idea. Game is too slow and boring, need to speed it up.
