These pitching changes take up a lot more time than mound visits. I wonder when the MLB will try and tweak it?

This is what I don't get about the rule change. I was under the impression that pitching changes counted as a visit. Without pitching changes counting it just seems like a rule that punishes language barriers. Sure some catchers abuse mound visits but there are times when they are necessary to get on the same page as signals change constantly.

Rule for mound visits from MLB Rules Manual
(m) Limitation on the Number of Mound Visits Per Game The following rule shall apply in Major League games. National Association Leagues may adopt a rule providing for a different limitation on the number of mound visits permitted in a game or no limitation on the number of mound visits. (1) Mound visits without a pitching change shall be limited to six per team, per nine innings. For any extra-innings played, each team shall be entitled to one additional nonpitching change mound visit per inning.

Does Seager know that you are not suppose to actually use the Gold Glove they give you? Hands of gold...

Can we give him a corked bat? Could up his avg to .250 by the end of the year.

 

[Duders]

Slow start for the M's with just a walk to Robbie top of the first.

Yikes- Felix pitch #1-bomb, pitch #2-double. Hope it's not gonna be that kind of day before we head to the Indians.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Felix throwing BP for the Sox
Going to be a miracle if he can get thru 5 today with minimal damage here on out.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Seagar to kill the rally. IF only the better hitter didn't bat behind him

 

[Duders]

I don't care what anybody says, but I DO NOT CARE for Seager. His ego gets in the way of his performance. Since he got that huge contract and the gold glove he just continues to be mediocre at the plate when we've got guys on base. He doesn't get it together until too far into the season, and then he still pisses me off!! I wish we had his brother instead.

Sorry to hear that because nobody is going to trade for him and his huge contract.

Dee is da man!!

I know and that pisses me off even more.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Of course Cruz is hurt.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Well he must be fine because he's still in there and just knocked in a run.

 

[NWinAZ]

Don't miss out boys and girls...

 

[seahawksfan234]

Great at-bat by Zunino.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Robbie really has been much more patient this year than I've ever seen him in his career. Seems to be working for him.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Another base running mistake...

 

[seahawksfan234]

Had Segura not been picked off, he would've scored on that double by Cruz.
