It should only be counting if the batter is in the box
If he’s not in the box don’t punish the pitcher

I’m a fan of the 20 second pitch clock so far (also: baseball is back!)

I don't necessarily like it. The quirky things pitchers do on the mound before

There's nothing the batter is doing that should affect the pitcher

Fine, but the batter shouldn't be allowed to step out of the box between pitches

Old school pitcher would never take so long. They'd get up and pitch

Then why the need for the rule? Pitchers, including myself would take a deep breathe or take time to play mind games

What level of pitcher? And I know of that sequence it was under 20 seconds.

I think the 20 second clock applies to them too?
