Friday night
had a digital clock display timing Trax pitches -- delivery (from time P recieves ball to windup) supposed to be within 20 seconds if no one on base-- Trachsel usually closked in at at 14 or so-- with men aboard, rose to 40 seconds +
Giants announcers (and again on FOX today) making a mountain out of a molehill here if you ask me-- the deliberate pace f's up fielders as much as hitters
Mike Krukow said his one-time teammate Joel Youngblood was so impatient that he'd swing at the rosin bag if a pitcher were as slow as Trachsel!
