Is Manfred truly out of touch with player safety, or is a six-inning minimum a necessary evil for baseballs future? Gausmans sarcastic fan-hitting suggestion highlights the absurdity, but is there a middle ground? Could incentivizing longer outings, rather than mandating them, be a better approach? What impact would this rule have on pitching development and strategy? Lets discuss. Im predicting a significant rise in pitcher injuries if this goes through, and a drop in overall game quality. Thoughts?
