Major League Baseball is considering some rule changes to keep starting pitchers in games longer in the future, according to a report.

The most drastic change would be a rule requiring starting pitchers to complete six innings before being pulled from a game.

The report states that the rule would come with exceptions for injuries, blowouts or other extreme scenarios.

MLB has discussed criteria where a pitcher could leave before competing six innings, such as throwing 100 pitches, allowing four or more earned runs or suffering an injury.

MLB needs to do about anything it can to speed the game up and have more action.

This is a horrible idea. They’ve messed with pitching enough, and now they are floating this?

Dont think this would speed anything up, if your swapping pitchers between innings its the same diff and there's already rules to try and make that happen.
