Baseball's new timing device made its big league debut Friday during a limited schedule of spring training openers.
Tick, tock, Manny Machado. Better watch that pitch clock.
Machado, who batted between fellow superstars Xander Bogaerts and Juan Soto, laughed about it afterward. The game "felt really fast at the beginning. Guys were looking at the clock, Manny makes history with the first infraction in major league history, another feather in his cap," Melvin quipped. "During the course of this game we acclimated a little bit. So far, so good."
"That time came by quick," Machado said. "It's definitely something we're going to have to get used to. It kind of takes away your routine, being up there and zoning in before the pitch. The umpire gave me a little warning -- `Hey, you got two seconds' -- but I was already late when I got in there."
