wegner Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Dave Roberts is gonna freak if this rule applies to the playoffs....I've never seen a guy make more pitching changes, except maybe Ricky in Oakland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 I will point out the exceptions which will allow you to remove a pitcher. The objective is to prioritize starting pitching, not to leave a struggling starter in to reach the innings threshold while his ERA skyrockets or at the risk of injury. So the league's conversations have included carve-outs, instances when pitchers would not have to pitch the required six innings. Some instances when a starter would be allowed to leave early might include: He throws 100 pitches He gives up four or more earned runs He gets injured (with a required injured list stint to avoid manipulation) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer12 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) So after our starting pitcher gives up 3 in the 1st, 1 in the 2nd, and 5 in the 3rd, we have to subject ourselves to 3 more innings of punishment??? I see a lot of fake injuries taking place EDIT: NVM I needed the above post 2 minutes earlier Edited August 15 by Slayer12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer 5 runs to 4. Beyond that, seems fine. Dodgers or rays would have no problem il'ing someone just for an edge though.

Dick Allen Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Its an interesting idea. Although I'd make it 5 innings with the other caveats. But for the rule to work for me, they would have to use the same format in the playoffs. The ghost runner is fine during the regular season and it's not every game. But you cant change the game entirely for the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I like this rule. I'd probably drop it to 5 innings, but like the general idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) I think it should be tied to other rules. The first time you put in a reliever before 6IP in a game, you lose your replay vchallenge. The second time you put in a reliever before 6IP in the same game, you lose your DH. (barring injury) Edited August 15 by JoeC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 "Early" pitching changes are allowed, but the other team gets to decide who pitches. After your second early change, your first baseman becomes the pitcher, and he must be DHed for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 For each early pitching change, the strike zone shrinks by 1 inch in any dimension of the other team's choice. (Prerequisite: robot umps) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
