What about talk to require a minimum of three batters for a relief pitcher. I get it, they want to cut down the game time but that just seems a bit extreme.
There are a limited number of pitchers on the roster so it's not like the manager doesn't have to take that into consideration.
What happens if the pitcher is hurt and cannot pitch to the minimum 3 batters? Do they force the club to put the pitcher on the DL just to show the injury was sufficient?
If they want to speed up the game then wouldn't adding a DH to the NL squad do the opposite?
