⚾ MLB hit king Pete Rose is old school when it comes to current MLB trends. JClarkNBCS had him on TheTakeoff ahead of his return to Philly this weekend.
On analytics saying players shouldn't run out each ground ball
"ROSE: No. I don't want 'em on my team. I managed in the big leagues 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89. I can't imagine telling Barry Larkin or Chris Sabo or Paul O'Neill to hit a ground ball and not run it out, okay? Because as soon as you don't, the guy's gonna boot it and you're gonna be embarrassed. Hey, you're out there for two and a half hours on a daily basis.
"I was watching [Jose] Altuve last night with Houston, every pitch - ball, strike, whatever it is - he stepped out and re-adjusted his batting gloves. I counted. Every frickin' pitch. They all do that. The people who love that are concessionaires, because the game is longer. They're gonna sell more hot dogs, they're gonna sell more beers.
"They've got to figure out a way - I don't want a pitch clock where you're worrying about, you've got 30 seconds to throw the ball. What if a guy gets a bug in his eye? He's got to step out. I don't know what the remedy would be to speed up the games, but it seems like back in the 60s we had faster games because the players weren't jumping in and out of the batter's box. There's so many pitcher changes today.
