Atlanta Braves: Let’s level the playing field

Ken Rosenthal posted an article last night outlining talks and changes that the league is looking into. Some could affect the Atlanta Braves quite a bit:

Three-batter requirement for all pitchers, universal DH among proposals that could bring big changes to baseball. Latest for The Athletic: https://t.co/bgAvZWkXly $

To recap, some of the item’s being discussed include

  • Having the NL adopt the DH as SOON as the 2019 season
  • Having a Relief Pitcher face a minimum of 3 batters upon entering the game
  • Implementing fewer mound visits throughout a game
  • Expanding Rosters to 26 players
  • Limiting September Rosters to 28 players

Obviously, these rules will most likely anger purists and make no difference to the younger generation of fans.
