I read the other day is the reason they want to limit the changes is the pace of the game during pitchers coming in.
The article basically said that what they are trying to speed up is this:
Before a pitching change the entire team and the manager stroll out to the mound to meet for a few minutes, then when the new guy finally gets out to the mound 5 minutes later the entire team meets on the mound for about 2 minutes, the pitcher then warms up for another few minutes, and then the catcher goes out and talks to him. The thinking is that the pitcher is already warrmed up, knows the signs, and has his scouting report so lets get moving.
The other thing I keep seeing is that the NL sooner rather than later will get the DH. I know NL diehards will throw things at me but I am in total favor of that one.

Yup, no need for warm ups (other than injury substitutions) and multi summit meetings. Throw the damn ball.

Spahn and Sain baby, Spahn and Sain.
