Awful. There are better ways to speed up play and "they're too good" is about as bad as a reason could get for limiting the use of a type of player in pro sports


Pardon my ignorance, but how will this speed the game up. Wouldn't more pitching changes and increased offense in late innings increase game lengths?

Mid inning pitching changes take a decent amount of time. I think it would save a little bit of time but it could be washed out by the increased offense. I don't know, it's a horrendous idea though

Manfred has wanted 2 things from the very beginning... faster games and more runs scored. Anybody with a brain knows that more runs scored will likely lead to a longer game.

One thing that I would do if you want to speed up games is to limit the amount of mound visits for a catcher just like you do with coaches.
