No Relief Pitcher Warmup Pitches - They are warming up in the bullpen. Do they really need 8 more warmup pitches where they aren't showing their best stuff to potential hitters?

not bad but you need time for the guy to adjust to the new mound.

Limit catcher visits to the mound - It seems like every 2-3 batters there is a conference at the mound. The pitcher doesn't need a dissertation from the catcher and infielders. Let him pitch. Limit it like coaching visits.

good idea, kinda hope it happens.

Give the pitcher and catcher ear pieces that the coach can talk into - This way we don't have to go through the exhausting process of coach calling a pitch, catcher relaying it and pitcher accepting it. It would be instant

It's good that the catcher communicate to the pitcher the pitch he wants thrown or the coach wants thrown. That may not really speed up the game that much anyway, Pitchers don't get the ball than almost go immediately to home plate. There is a routine and getting the signal is part of that routine.

- Foul Outs - At bats with 2 strikes where the batter just keeps fouling it off can get pretty tedious. Once a player gets 2 strikes, give them one more foul and then they are out.

- Or start with a 1-1 count - Works well in softball leagues to speed up the game
