Not disagreeing with your sentiment at all, but from what I understand, the manager has already been taken out of the game by GMs using analytics to make all the decisions remotely from lineups to pitching changes.
I would make it so you could only use 3 pitchers max in a game. That way, you really would have to think about whether or not to leave a pitcher in.

The Cardinals fired Mike Schildt and the reason given was “philosophical differences”. I think the real reason was the front office was interfering in his day to day business and he told them to back off. So he is gone.
Exactly. Only a few high powered managers call the shots in the dugout. The rest pick up the dugout phone and are instructed what to do.
