Sal says that if the intent of MLB was to speed up the games and make them more exciting, the pitch clock is a fine idea that is easily enforceable, but the rules banning defensive shifts could very easily become counter-productive. If the umpiring crew is constantly reviewing plays to ensure that there wasn’t an improper shift on a play that’s going to eat up any time gained with the pitch clock and require more manpower to police.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

Goodell deployed his usual strategy: Look grave, be vaguely apologetic, say things like “there is work to do,” and run out the clock.

…
