On a night when both teams use 10 pitchers combined, that's an extra 100 minutes (1.5 hrs). For comparison, the friday night SC game was about 2.5 hrs.



Is it really 5 mins per change? That seems high.

Coach just makes the change from the dugout. You visit the mound, you don't get to make a change.


If you visit the mound you CANT Make a change?
That won’t work.
The visit could be…
Coach: “hey, you feel ok?”
Pitched: “Nah, my arm is tight….”
*Coach makes a change*

Under your rule, coach can’t make a change based on what the pitcher tells him when he comes out there.

There's already exceptions for injuries. As it sits, that mound visit doesn't even count if the coach initiates it based on any question of injury. The umpire makes sure there's no strategy discussed during that visit.

It COULD work, but as I said, I don't really support it.

Correct. And, in practice, that almost never happens anyway.

even looks like that damned glove increases the reach about at least 2 inches.


Honestly, that’s the purpose.
