YES!  ABSOLUTELY!
 
First:  IMO, it's often nothing more than the pitcher or batter jerking around the other.  There's no pressure involved, per se.
Second:  catchers don't call the games anyway, quite often.  Plus, MLB is working on sign-stealing tech;  it's strictly optional.  It should reduce the time the catcher needs.
Third:  it's less about the overall elapsed time, and more about pace of play.  Some pitchers are HORRIBLY slow;  same with some hitters.  Jeter would step out, tug the gloves, knock on the spikes...make the pitcher wait and wait and wait.  It was CLEARLY a head game.  Some pitchers are notorious for doing the same...25 seconds on an 0-2 count, 1 out, no one on, in a 5 run game.  Get real.  
 
And last:  everyone will get used to it.  They may need to clarify when the clock should start;  that's sometimes an issue in tennis, which has had a serve clock for a few years.  (And some players abuse it;  Djokovic is often at the line WELL in advance, and IMO deliberately stalls as long as he can.)
 
I've got NO sympathy towards the argument that the pitchers and catchers would feel "pressure" because of this.  

Never have I seen a mascot so perfect for its school. 
 

Yeah, I'm dead.
 

I recall an issue of the Thor comic (I'd have to look up which one) after Odin apparently died fighting Surtur in the "Sword of Doom" story line. Wandering grief-stricken he encounters the being called Tiwaz who unknown to him is actually his great-grandfather Buri, who helps guide him back to positivity. At one point Buri quotes the famous psalm by David, "To every thing...". Thor asks him, "What do mortals know of the grief of gods?" Buri replies, "They know more about death and dying than we do, Thor. They live with it every day of their lives."
 
There simply isn't evidence that Thor when we first meet him has experienced any of the things you assume. His family is intact, his friends who all seem at least his age are all there. Odin has kept Asgard out of major wars since Thor was a child. As for the plague and loss of his mortal worshipers, this Thor seems scarcely concerned for or even aware of them, and judging from his unfamiliarity, hasn't visited Midgard in centuries. When Fandral tries to argue with Thor against a punitive expedition to Jotunheim, he tells Thor, "This isn't like Earth where you summon a little lightning and the humans worship you as a god!" Odin on meeting Jane Foster in The Dark World even compares her to a goat. Doesn't sound like most Asgardians took humans very seriously.
 
Thor tells Selvig in his first movie, "For the first time in my life, I don't know what to do." And to Rocket in Infinity War: "I've lived fifteen hundred years, I've killed twice as many foes, and every one of them wanted to kill me, but they didn't. I'm alive because Fate wants me alive." To me that implies his recent failures and losses are new to him. And for a race and civilization of such power who live for at least millennia, why should the passage of 1,500 years have inevitably forced them on him?
 
 

I really hope the STarlord/Thor who has the biggest junk ends quickly. I am not really a fan of Thor as a member of the GOTG.

Well, he screwed up and half the living beings of the universe disappeared for five years because he didn't cut off Thanos's arm. His dad, brother, and sister died. Asgard was destroyed with his assistance. Most of the Asgardians who survived the destruction of Asgard died on the rescue boat that he was captaining.
 
For all we know, a 5000 year old being goes through the stages of grief very slowly. In any case, even though he's 2000 years old, what he's gone through is still unprecedented in his lifetime.
 
I mean, look at an adult human who's gone through 40% of his lifespan: he participates in the annihilation of the Earth, has his family die, tries to rescue a few people from Earth but they mostly all die on the rescue boat he's captaining. So how many years would he be going to therapy to get over that?  
 
That's not how I would have written Thor but it's an understandable(though not entertaining) reaction on the "My-Life-Is-Crap-O-Meter".
