To: a little elbow grease

I’m more concerned with length of games than with scoring. A well pitched 1-0 game is a beauty to behold.

But, to speed up games, I’d limit each side to 3 or 4 pitchers per game and 1 to each 3 innings after 9.

I don't think baseball games need to be sped up at all. All this talk of speeding them up is because the stupid millenials have the attention span of a gnat and baseball is trying to figure out how to pander to them.

I'm so sick and damn' tired of millenials.

“and 1 to each 3 innings after 9”

Last night San Diego used three pitchers to record 3 outs in the bottom of the 7th inning against San Francisco.

That inning went over 30 mins.

I would support a rule that says every pitcher must record 3 outs (one inning) before they can be relieved.
