PLUS THREE
Actions to improve baseball's tortoise pace:
• Strictly enforced 20-second clock for a pitch; reliever must face two batters; a catcher's visit is an official trip to the mound.
• Managers get 10 seconds to ask for replay review. That will get rid of toe-off-base challenges at second.
• Put umpire Joe West in charge of the speed-up committee. Country Joe is more dedicated to the pace of the game than anyone.
