I'm becoming in favor of a rule change where the manager/pitching coach gets one free visit to the mound per game and then each successive trip to the mound requires a pitching change. As it is now the bench is allowed one trip per inning which, under current conditions, can mean 8-10 trips per game as each reliever used gets two visits: one for strategy/stalling and one for removal. I realize that this would probably just result in increased visits to the mound by catchers instead whenever they wanted to stall, but it would at least be a start. My alternative idea is a sniper on the roof picking off relievers who refuse to throw more than one pitch per minute. Marmol would have been mortally wounded about seven batters ago. I thought the rule was a pitcher had 20 seconds.
