Just make it so (barring injury) all pitchers appearing in a game in September must throw to a minimum of 2 hitters. Boom, problem solved.
And honestly, the season is dwindling, if you love baseball, you want longer games at this time of year, because most teams have been eliminated and there’s a long winter ahead of no baseball. Because baseball > no baseball.

Having a limit of 25 players won’t work because teams would just deactivate 4 of their starters and go with 4 extra relievers.

That wouldn’t work because once a player is sent to minors he has to stay there for 10 days unless there is a need due to injury. Rule was put in place to prevent teams from doing just what you stated.

But they’re not sending them to the minors, they’d just be left off the 25 for that specific game, in that scenario.

Never thought of it that way. Huh.

Pretty funny line there from Coke.

And I thought that if you threw “lefty,” you’d have a job forever. I guess it just depends on what league you’re with.

That’s not very PC of you.

Or you could just ignore that section if you have such a problem with it instead of whining in the comments

Get ready for more pitching changes tonight with Gilmartin pitching.
Can you really blame them though? Look at who they have to run out there due to injuries, and in the middle of a wild card race, mind you.
