Just like they did last season in the World Series?

I don’t think this objection is wrong as a matter of fairness. Pitchers from both teams should have the same amount of time to warm up.
It seems like the best solution would be to also extend the opposing team’s warm-up time on the mound when a two-way player is pitching as a starter.

I don’t know, maybe raise their case on the basis of they don’t like it, but come on. The man is a hitter and a pitcher and should be afforded time to warmup. Perhaps MLB can make an Ohtani rule and allow him the time without any protest.

Do other teams complain about this or is it just the Jays. Cause I have only seen the Jays complain about this

> For between-innings breaks, the timer begins when the final out of the inning is recorded, with several exceptions. **If the pitcher is on base, on deck or at bat when the inning ends, the timer begins when the pitcher leaves the dugout for the mound.** If the catcher is on base, on deck or at bat when the inning ends, the timer begins when the catcher enters the dugout (another catcher can begin warming up the pitcher).
It was fun to see Dave Roberts steaming about it in the dugout. I think it’s just mind games

I really don’t understand why in the games that Ohtani pitches, they don’t allow both pitchers the added time. It seems like the logical and fair thing to do.

American League nonsense! MLB should get rid of the DH once and for all. Let all pitchers hit!
This isn’t anything new for pitchers who have just hit or run the bases. It’s just he’s the only one still doing it.
Springer asked one question. No one was shouting. Dave Roberts shook his head a little. The gamesmanship included tying shoelaces.
What a tan suit.
Did the Blue Jays get mad when Ohtani did the same thing on the Angels? Did they get mad when they previously played in NL parks without the DH?
The rule applies to all pitchers who hit and always has.
