Agree though, absolutely stupid proposal. If he really wants to help the game he would do things to speed up play, maybe shorten the season back to 154 games and shorten spring training, but that affects revenue so the owners would bitch.
For pace
1-Enforce the damn pitch clock, 12 seconds from the pitcher getting the ball back to pitch.
*Batter can only step out of the box once per AB unless injured or its a strike
*Pitcher can only step off the rubber once per AB or its a ball
*Pitcher takes more than 12 seconds its a ball, batter isn't ready, too bad
2-1 minute between innings
3-Every mound visit by the manager results in a pitcher change, seriously, you can discuss anything you need to discuss with a pitcher about mechanics, location etc between innings.
