If it were up to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, Joe Girardi might not be able to call on his fearsome trio of Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman whenever he wanted to.
Manfred said during a radio interview Thursday he was “in favor” of limiting the number of relief pitchers a team could use in an inning or a game in an attempt to improve the pace of play.
Not surprisingly, Girardi, who has one of the best back ends of a bullpen in history at his disposal, didn’t like that possibility.
