Originally posted by Kevin Seitzer View PostFour percent of relief appearances in 2018 faced less than three batters and ended before the inning was complete.
I imagine the 7th and 8th innings would show a higher %.

Originally posted by madducks View PostAnd how about really shaking things up in extra innings and making sure the fans and players never have to endure another 18 inning marathon again. Simply require teams to use 8 fielders in the 10th inning, 7 fielders in the 11th inning, etc. You could cap it at 4 fielders (P, C, + 2 more) if it ever got to that point. And the managers can really earn their money there by deciding where to place less than 9 defenders. That would actually be fun to watch and the fans who stick around to watch the entire game will get rewarded with the chance to see something really unique. Tradition and bullpen ratios be damned.

Of course, mid-inning pitching changes happen way more often than that, but it's usually taking out a pitcher who has faced three or more batters. Roughly a quarter of pitching changes occur during the inning and 3/4 between innings."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

There are a lot of multi-pitcher innings. But this proposed rule change would affect only a small portion of them.
E.g.
Starting pitcher pitches 6 innings.
Relief pitcher comes in to pitch the 7th, finishes the 7th, faces one batter in the 8th, who reaches, and the pitcher comes out.
New reliever comes in and gets two outs and allows a runner to reach.
New reliever comes in and gets out of the 8th inning with an out after allowing a runner to reach, stays in to face the first batter in the 9th, who reaches, and the pitcher comes out.
New reliever comes in and gets two outs and allows a runner to reach.
New reliever comes in and gets out of the 9th inning.
That's both the 8th and 9th inning with three different pitchers and two mid-inning pitching changes in each inning, and yet completely allowed under the new rule."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

The Atlantic League will feature a radar system dubbed TrackMan to help home-plate umpires call balls and strikes during the 2019 season as part of an agreement with Major League Baseball.

Also being tested in 2019:
An infield shift ban
A three-batter minimum for pitchers
Mound visits being eliminated aside from pitching changes and injuries
Increasing the size of the bases by three inches
Reducing the time between innings by 30 seconds
The second half of the season will see the distance from the pitching rubber to the plate increased by two feet to 62'6".“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I like all of these except moving the pitching rubber back 2 feet.
I'm thinking that the increased base size is the "Machado Rule" designed to create more separation between the infielder's foot on the edge of the bag and the base runner.
No way does the increased pitching distance stick. That's an invitation to more pitcher injuries. Hopefully, MLB will come to their senses and scrap that one before it even gets tested.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
