I expect them to go with 14 pitchers but I think that's counterproductive. It means the bench consists only of a catcher and 3 others despite a 26 man roster in the NL where they don't use a DH and need PHers. Just PHing twice in a game means no late inning defensive replacements or pinch runners because it makes the catcher the only one left on the bench and he needs to stay there in case of an injury to the starter. All of that just to have 9 guys in the BP despite the 3-batter minimum rule.
Once again, Bobster, I agree 100%. The best solution is the same as it's been all ST: trade a veteran reliever.
