Funny u se to ask pitchers to go 9 innings now one batter -- LMK 02/13/2020 10:45PM
Is that to speed up the game? ** -- Old Line Hokie 02/13/2020 1:51PM
Yes ** -- hokiepro 02/14/2020 12:56PM
Then batters must have certain ABs and limited situation subs ** -- VAHokie89 02/13/2020 12:31PM
But they aren't doing that -- SteveInBaltimore 02/13/2020 1:53PM
I wonder if managers will resort to having pitchers fake an injury -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 2:40PM
Right, he can leave with an injury -- SteveInBaltimore 02/13/2020 3:25PM
It could raise some eyebrows unless the pitcher claims -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 3:56PM
I imagine if the same pitcher does it more than once in an obvious situatio -- SteveInBaltimore 02/13/2020 4:02PM
Exactly -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 4:12PM
Could happen. We'll have to see. It's "cheating" of course to lie and -- SteveInBaltimore 02/13/2020 4:31PM
It will be interesting to see how things play out -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 4:42PM
This is stupid. I don't think you can legislate or should -- VAHokie89 02/13/2020 12:31PM
It will have some impact but not as much as people think -- SteveInBaltimore 02/13/2020 12:26PM
It could have a bigger impact during the postseason given that teams -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 2:41PM
But roster size only gets bigger in September. For 5 months prior it's 26. -- 48zip 02/14/2020 3:41PM
Yep. They will now walk one or two every pitcher just to face a batter. ** -- Hokie4jmpl 02/13/2020 12:01PM
Crazy if batters can sub but not pitchers. That makes zero sense. -- 48zip 02/13/2020 10:06AM
Trying to cut down on bringing in multiple releivers in a row to face one -- SteveInBaltimore 02/13/2020 12:27PM
Understood, but letting 1 team sub but not both seems wrong to me. -- 48zip 02/13/2020 1:58PM
The roster size, particularly in the postseason, will limit the batting -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 2:44PM
@Chris Coleman what do you think of this pick up the pace strategy? ** -- hokiepro 02/12/2020 9:18PM
I'm divided. -- Chris Coleman
02/13/2020 11:00AM
Do it withe the roster. Have a team roster of 25 like it is now. But -- Femoyer Hokie 02/13/2020 11:15AM
I believe MLB is limiting the postseason roster to 28 players ** -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 2:45PM
Not postseason. September. -- SteveInBaltimore 02/13/2020 2:53PM
It seems like there are more players dressed in the dugout -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 3:08PM
They cancel the locker room card games to watch baseball during playoffs ** -- 48zip 02/14/2020 3:44PM
That is still too many relievers available for each game. -- Femoyer Hokie 02/13/2020 2:50PM
I agree with you that playoff games are different, but isn't -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 2:55PM
How does a NFL playoff game look different? NBA? -- Femoyer Hokie 02/13/2020 3:04PM
There may not be much of a difference for those sports or even ice hockey -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 3:10PM
And the regular season roster is up to 26 this year. ** -- Chris Coleman
02/13/2020 11:15AM
So basically 16 field players and 10 pitchers (assuming -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 2:48PM
More like 13/13 -- SteveInBaltimore 02/13/2020 2:54PM
Do teams still use a 5-man starting rotation? -- VTHokie2000 02/13/2020 2:59PM
Yes. No one pitches on 3 days rest anymore ** -- SteveInBaltimore 02/13/2020 3:01PM
That means my Pirates will have 26 AAA players on their roster. ** -- Old Line Hokie 02/13/2020 1:52PM
Don't eliminate strategy to speed up games. Two words... pitch clock. ** -- losthokie 02/13/2020 09:08AM
