Then you cut down so much on the dull parade of relievers and pitchers re-learn how to go seven. Starters W/L would be moderately interesting again and the role of the true closer might return as well as the set up guy. ... Here's how baseball dies. The defensive shifts continue. The pitchers only go through the lineup twice which means 4 innings max followed by a zillion relievers. I still think some teams will go with "openers" in the near future and just assume every game you'll need 7-9 pitchers. Dull.
