Crash Davis would not approve of this idea

[TJ8869]

MLB is going to modify the PitchCom system and give pitchers the option of calling their own signals. The experiment will start on February 24 and the league will evaluate the results during spring training to decide whether or not to use it during the regular season.

Game was already ruined with the DH as far as Crash was concerned. And I agree with him.

Crash Davis : This son of a bitch is throwing a two-hit shutout. Now he wants to call his own game. You believe that shit? Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

I think this is good to help keep the pace of the game moving. Pitchers already call their own games for the most part now they just don't have to wave off signs until they get the one they want.

I didn't like the idea, but then I got to thinking about it. If catchers don't have to concern themselves with showing signals to the pitcher, we might see a new type of catcher who's now just another infielded whose purpose is to make putouts and hit homers. Somehow, that appeals to me.

All this because some A-holes were stealing signs and banging on trash cans. Let's just go back to using your fingers to call a game. Old school baseball. If a team gets caught stealing signs the next batter gets one in the ear.
