It starts out nice & reasonable ... and then slides downhill at an alarming pace.

Want fewer strikeouts? Groom better hitters. Or stop trying to field 9 Dave Kingman's.

My God, "major league pitching" is already bordering on misnomer but the answer to that isn't bizarre limitations designed to cater to the fucking short attention span crowd, it's to perform badly needed contraction.

I feel like this is the best way to curb the absurd usage of relievers while leaving the on-the-field product completely intact. It increases tactical decision-making at the same time. It also seems to address your criticism of the watering-down of Major league pitching; this would literally cut the number of roster spots dedicated to pitchers by 132 league-wide.

I figured this would be something you could actually get behind
