Rob Manfred sent the baseball world abuzz Thursday when the commissioner said the league has been discussing the possibility of limiting the usage of relievers.

"I've got nothing against relief pitchers but they do two things to the game," Manfred said on ESPN's Mike & Mike show. "The pitching changes themselves slow the game down and our relief pitchers have become so dominant at the back end that they actually rob action out of the end of the game, the last few innings of the game."

Though Manfred didn't offer specifics, he did say that he would be in favor of some sort of limit. What do you think: Should baseball's efforts to speed up pace of play and boost offense extend into how pitchers are deployed? Have your say below:
