New pitch clock rule established by MLB is causing confusion

Since the start of spring training, MLB has created a new pitch clock rule, which has caused a lot of confusion. In this news story by CNN, they cover the first of many confusions that this new rule may bring. In this particular situation, there were bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs, tie score and the batter had a 3-2 count. After several seconds passed by, the umpire signaled a pitch clock violation and the batter was called out, resulting in confusion from everyone. In such a situation like this, I feel like the pitch clock rule should have been ruled out. This basically ruined that game, and I believe this new rule is ruining the game in all. That call in the game took away from the intensity of the moment and probably left many unsatisfied fans. The reason for the MLB implying this rule is to “speed things up” but, in reality, real fans will sit through a game, no matter how long it takes. So in all, I don’t agree with what the MLB is doing with this new rule. As a baseball player, that extra time out the box can be needed. Ruining the game for time management is also not the best but, hopefully, the MLB realizes their mistake with this and changes it in the future.

  https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35782987/nba-investigating-ja-morant-displays-gun-instagram-video Saturday morning, Memphis Grizzlies point guard, Ja Morant was caught displaying a gun on Instagram video and was given a two game suspension by the NBA. I never expected a player like Ja Morant to do something like this. This has brought a lot of controversy towards him and the Grizzlies. Ja Morant is also signed to Nike who is also receiving some black lash because of this incident . By doing such a thing, Ja Morant is only hurting his team, considering the other news they have received about other players. That news being that Brandon Clarke will miss the remainder of the season due to injury and Dillon Brooks being   suspended as well. This action of Ja Morant’s is just bad timing, as now his team could potentially suffer because of his decision to show off a gun online. Hopefully, he makes better decisions when it comes to what he decides to share online. ESPN also did a good jo

How Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in 1947 went

African American baseball player, by the name of Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier on April 15, 1947. This day in MLB history marked a pivotal moment in the segregation of the MLB and would change the MLB forever. This wasn’t any ordinary task and Jackie Robinson seemed to be the guy for the job. According to “Is Racism Alive and Well in Major League Baseball” it says, “Rickey made Jackie swear that he would not react to the expected criticism and hate. He wanted a player who could win over the hate with his professionalism and talent. Jackie Robinson was his man.” Jackie Robinson’s bravery would also lead to more opportunities for Black essentially making the MLB what it is today. In the text, “Interest Convergence Principle and the Integration of Major League Baseball” it says, “It could be argued there are positive aspects of MLB’s integration, the most apparent being that the perviously accepted racialized rules of MLB were discontinued, affording Black pl

Jalen Hurts had a standout performance, going 27 of 38 passing for 304 yards and a touchdown while tieing the Super Bowl record with three rushing touchdowns. He also passed Steve McNair’s record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in the Super Bowl. Although the Eagles did end up losing the Super Bowl, Hurts still performed well. As Bleacher Report states throughout this news story, Jalen Hurts has proved that he deserves a Contract extension. We see this specifically with his Super Bowl performance. Hurts accounted for all o the Eagles touchdowns, which says a lot. He also continues to show growth as we see an increase in his numbers over the years.
