What's this?

Do it withe the roster. Have a team roster of 25 like it is now. But


have a lower game roster of say 20 for each game. Limit the number of relief pitchers available to pitch in each game. If a manager only has 2 or 3 relief pitchers he can use in a single game he would have to use them judiciously.

This especially needs to be done in the playoffs. The expanded rosters in the playoffs are horrible.

  Wow MLB rule change says all pitchers must face at least 3 batters -- hokiepro 02/12/2020 9:16PM
  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

  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
  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
  @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

  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
  That is still too many relievers available for each game. -- Femoyer Hokie 02/13/2020 2:50PM
  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

  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
