Chicago Cubs: Three batter rule implications for the Cubs, MLB

Rob Manfred has once again attempted to lure the millennial crowd back into baseball by speeding up the pace of play. Of the seven proposed rule changes the MLB produced, only one sticks out for all the wrong reasons. The idea that a three-batter minimum for pitchers would benefit the game is so incredibly outlandish.

This rule would only benefit us as Chicago Cubs fans when Andrew Miller is stranded on the bump after giving up two bombs with Kris Bryant walking up to give him his third of the inning. Outside of that, I see no added entertainment value with the three batter minimum rule.
