I can see it working but I don't think it's best for the fans. We're going to be watching a parade of pitchers coming in to the games.

Also, I don't think the starting pitchers are going to like seeing their innings and numbers go down. Their ERA might be better but they won't get paid nearly as much as their value is now lowered.

We already have that, though. It's just unscheduled. As the video said, starters last 5 2/3 innings on average. - Inigo May 24, 05:54 6
- And the constant changing of pitchers is already getting annoying, it'll only get worse. -- (edited) - Krusty May 24, 05:59 5
  - Part of the way I'd do it is to make sure the starter finished an inning. - Inigo May 24, 06:01 4
    - And do they need to warm up yet again after warming up in the bullpen. Four pitches from the mound and lets move on. - Krusty May 24, 06:09
    - I think a simple rule change is a pitcher has to face 2 batters unless he's injured. - Will Hunting May 24, 06:04 2
      - (Or his replacement gets like 2 warmup pitches.) -- nm - Ender May 24, 06:27
      - Something like this or what Inigo suggested. I don't want to kill the strategy of the game but I also want to enjoy what I'm watching. - Krusty May 24, 06:10
