Rob Manfred Reveals MLB Is Looking Into Possibility Of Limiting Pitching Changes

(CBS) MLB commissioner Rob Manfred on Thursday revealed that the league is looking into the possibility of limiting the number of pitching changes in a game in an effort to speed up the pace of play, which is a goal of Manfred's.

"I am in favor of something like that," Manfred told ESPN Radio. "We (MLB) spend a ton of time on this issue in the last few months.

"You know the problem with relief pitchers is that they're so good. I've got nothing against relief pitchers but they do two things to the game; the pitching changes themselves slow the game down and our relief pitchers have become so dominate at the back end that they actually rob action out of the end of the game, the last few innings of the game. So relief pitchers is a topic that is under active consideration. We're talking about that a lot internally."
