The MLB pitch clock has significantly improved the game for everyone

The biggest is the clock, no question about it. And I, I think it has really worked out well. I love it personally. Keeps the game moving action. They took the shift away. So I think it's a better game. No doubt about it. They're shorter, they're crisper.

The pitch clock was widely credited with increasing MLB viewership and speeding up games.

Nathan Eovaldi will go down as one of the greatest postseason performers in MLB history

I think [Nathan Eovaldi] will go down as one of the greatest postseason performers. When you look at what he's done... he just has that maniacal focus. You love every game, but that postseason, he ramps it up even more.

Eovaldi became the first pitcher in MLB history to win five starts in a single postseason (2023) and has a career postseason ERA under 3.00, solidifying this claim.

Gary Sheffield had the most intimidating and unique sound off the bat in baseball

I coached third when Sheffield was with San Diego. This is back what, 93, 94. And oh my goodness, the sound of coming off his bat. It's just different. And you know, those guys, the elite players, you, you, you can tell when that ball's hit who, who's hitting sometimes.

Subjective claim based on Bochy's eye-witness experience.
