Twins expect pitch clock to reduce wear and tear

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:25:21 GMT

MIAMI — Twins catcher Christian Vázquez was still catching his breath Tuesday night when he met the media to talk about Kenta Maeda’s first pitching start in 19 months.“That’s why I’m tired,” Vázquez said of the game, which lasted just 1 hour, 57 minutes. “It was quick. Under two hours.”Yes it was, even for the pitch clock era. The clock, introduced this year, has sped games along, testing players’ conditioning. But in shortening games by about 26 minutes — that per spring training data —  the Twins expect the clock will also provide physical benefits for players.There is a 15-second pitch timer now for pitchers with the bases empty. It bumps up to 20 seconds when there are runners on base. If a pitcher has not begun his motion by that point, he will be charged with an automatic ball. Batters must be in the box and facing the pitcher at the eight-second mark. A violation means an automatic strike is added to the count.“It’s pretty drastic,” catcher Ryan Jeffers said. “Ye...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:25:21 GMT

The Crossing with Dignity Act was brought to attention by Councilwoman Gabriella Romero. The act hopes to add an extra layer of protection to those walking the streets of Albany."The result of this legislation, which would remove our reliance on the pedestrian actuation devices, and give an automatic pedestrian signal at every intersection," explained Romero.Pedestrian actuation devices, or 'beg buttons,' are devices near intersections that create a safe time for pedestrians to cross. Councilman Owusu Anane sees removing the requirement, but not the use of the buttons, as a way to make the city of Albany more accessible to everyone."We want to make sure that individuals, particularly with disability in the urban community, don't have to push a button just to cross a street," said Anane.Drivers are being told to not worry about the timing of future rides. For vehicles traveling through intersections, the impact to commute time is determined to be minimal."If no one pressed that butto...
