Anyone following the Phillies?

Their new manager used 21 pitchers in their first 28 innings.

Opening day he pulled the starter after only 68 pitches when they had a 5-0 lead.
They proceeded to give up 8 straight runs and lose.

In a later game he made a second mound visit and had to pull the starter. Problem was he didnt have anyone warming up in the pen. The ump game them unlimited time to warm up and the Braves manager blew a gasket, as he should.

That thing with no guy being warm was wrong. They oughta penalize you a called ball for every 20 seconds you wait or something like that.

Rangers are running a six man rotation out there, too.

Only five pitchers went over 7 innings through yesterday.

It's a different game.

I see a rule change coming next season, 30 man rosters and you have to carry 15 pitchers.

If the line on game time is 4 hours...I'm shooting the over every single game!

With the number of mound visits limited maybe they would just have the catcher call timeout, call the pen and tell someone to go out and take the ball.
