Really? [emoji]129300[/emoji]

I didn't notice him not touching the plate [emoji]129300[/emoji]

Edit:

Just watched it again. It's close, and he beat it by good margin, so no complaints

MLB looking at possible limits on the use of relief pitchers

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred acknowledged that MLB is looking at possibly limiting the use of relief pitchers in games.

Manfred was a guest Thursday on ESPN's Mike & Mike where he was presented nine suggestions from fans for improving baseball. One suggestion was some sort of restriction on the use of relief pitching in an inning or game.

"I am in favor of something like that," Manfred said. "We (MLB) spend a ton of time on this issue in the last few months."

"You know the problem with relief pitchers is that they're so good. I've got nothing against relief pitchers but they do two things to the game; the pitching changes themselves slow the game down and our relief pitchers have become so dominate at the back end that they actually rob action out of the end of the game, the last few innings of the game. So relief pitchers is a topic that is under active consideration. We're talking about that a lot internally."

This year, the average time of a game is 3 hours, 4 minutes. By comparison, in 2005 games averaged 2 hours, 49 minutes.

Thoughts?

Never gonna happen. Try that, and you'll start havin relief pitchers fake injuries so the manager "has" to make the moves.

You can't have a relief pitcher out there throwin 40-50-60 pitches, blowin his damn arm, and he can't come out cuz you can't change pitchers anymore tonight.

Wanna speed the game up MLB? FEWER/SHORTER commercials. Suddenly the game speeds up 10-15 minutes, what'dya know?

 

[a55a5in11]

Yeah they got to stop giving these coaches all that time to decide to challenge or not.

I don't think commercials are an issue. i think the limit is 1:40 between innings. Which is fine with me

Exec from team that's been talking with the Rays says he sees such a good fit with Dodgers, places odds at "70 pct" Chris Archer lands in LA

Wut?!?!?!?!

 

[nick.]

Archer's having a down year but his contract is one of the best in the league.

Wonder what TB gets for him.

 

[macbk]

Wow @ Archer possibly being traded. Imagine him and Kershaw together :x
