Substituting 23 thoughts for the Indians first 23 games | cleveland.com
From Paul Hoynes:
13. Indians manager Terry Francona put it best when he said it’s going to be impossible to have a normal season this year. He said teams and players are going to have to be flexible.
So with an outlier season like this – perhaps with all 30 teams playing in Arizona — will we see robo-umpires? The system has been tested in the independent Atlantic League and the Arizona Fall League. How about pace of play suggestions like starting the 11th inning with a man on second base to prevent an 18-inning games that turns pitching staffs to mush.
It could be the perfect test tube to make some changes in the game.

You may not know, but Tito managed Michael Jordan in Double-A.
