Rob Manfred’s BS is only half serious
What if he doesn’t really intend to implement his crazy ideas?
Trevor Bauer has a gripe with Rob Manfred. Namely, his decision, after consultation with the MLBPA and all clubs, to implement rules limiting mound visits to six per game (plus an extra visit for each extra inning), reducing between-inning breaks to 2:05 for locally televised games and 2:25 for nationally televised games (with the time limit also applying to pitching changes), and improving review times by providing clubs with better replays and better communication means.
