I think that the pitch clock is probably a good rule change for fans but I would not have liked it as a player. I liked pitching as quickly as I could when I played, especially on hot, humid days because that was Bob Gibson's style. I always thought pitching quickly gave me an advantage over hitters. 

The only exception was when I was behind in the count. I liked to shake off the catcher's signs several times to make hitters think that I might throw something other than a fastball. Otherwise, I always tried to be ready to start my wind-up ASAP. Making every pitcher work fast would remove the advantage that I thought it gave me.

Yeah, Hoot, I'd say probably most fans like it. I don't care for it and, like you, I wouldn't have liked it when I played. I was also a pitcher. I really just don't like changes to the game. I think the game was just fine in the '70's .  I guess you might say I am very conservative when it comes to baseball. lol
