SilverBullet Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I was reading somwhere that the commissioner wants to limit the amount of pitching changes during an inning to help speed up the game. Interesting idea and one that could change this whole specialist relief pitcher trend. Horrible idea. He said relievers are getting so good that it limits offense in the late innings. Why are we punishing relievers for being good? Why are we helping hitters who aren't good enough to beat these relievers? It's stupid. Friday night when Phelps struggled in the 7th and Barraclough came in to bail us out of the inning... Manfred wants to stop that??? Force the struggling pitcher to stay in the game to purposely create more offense? That's ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Manfred appears to want to change the game to appease low attention span idiots Agreed. It's stupid too because apparently a pitching change makes the idiots wanna look away because it takes too long? That's so stupid. If you're actually paying attention you'd want that pitching change to make the game more competitive. He shouldn't be making the game easier.

What I saw was just about speeding up the game which makes sense to me. Managers are just going to have to learn how to manage their bullpen better. Also, GM's are going to need to rely on pitchers that can throw multiple innings more than on the one inning guys. It would be more of an old school approach. Not saying that I'm in favor but just something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Also, while I like the theory of pace of play initiatives, he's making so much stink about it over six freaking minutes. Who cares about shaving off six minutes off a three hour game? If you're not knocking off thirty minutes its not making a real difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all this but the way Manfred worded it was something like "ohh it's the eighth inning and your pitcher is struggling but sorry you can't take him out because you've already made a pitching change earlier, sorry, deal with the shitty pitcher." ...fuck that.

You're not going to find just one way to cut down 30 minutes. If you can shave 6 minutes here and 5 minutes there you will ultimately get to the 30 minutes.

If you can shave 6 minutes here and 5 minutes there you will ultimately get to the 30 minutes. Agreed but it hasn't been six here and five there... Its been twenty seconds here, thirty seconds there, a minute here, forty seconds there and all in all you've only knocked six minutes off the game. Not worth it.

Valid Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Now that would be a surprise to me. Well, we have. We won the last two series against them last year and the first one this year. And any Met fan would disagree that the Marlins "never win a series against the Mets." As a matter of fact, they would say quite the opposite.
