There Are Going To Be An Astronomical Amount Of Pickoff Attempts This Season

Amongst the concerns MLB professionals have had are around momentum and more pejorative statements that inflame the analytic poindexters up a wall. I have to use large words because along with spreadsheets, that seems to be the only way to communicate with these people, every word has to be at least 3 syllables and has to have you scrambling to google wondering what the fuck you just read. 
Throughout the first batch of competitive "Summer Camp" games on Saturday, this issue didn't present itself much however you know damn well without the crowd dissuading pitchers, 12 consecutive implausible pick off attempts is on the horizon.

Whilst pumping in eery false crowd noise, it seems doubtful that button man up in the PA booth paid in root beer floats from A&W, will be mercilessly booing the pitcher attempting to limit stolen bases. 
With this likely to take place it will without a doubt create a spike in average game time, leading the maestro who is Rob Manfred to implement more obtuse, cracked changes to the game. I say this all to lead to this conclusion, Rob Manfred needs to be shot to the moon and have his job taken.
