re: Minor League Baseball - Ridiculous New Rules

I think some minor league levels have already experimented with starting with a runner on 2nd base in extra innings. It's a terrible rule. Pitch clock is a good rule. I don't mind mound visits being limited given the parameters

quote:

---

Visits by coaches and position players will be limited based on the classification level. Triple-A clubs will be allowed six (6) visits per team, Double-A clubs will be allowed eight (8) visits per team, Single-A clubs will be allowed 10 visits per team and there will not be a limit on mound visits for Short Season and Rookie-level clubs.

although the number of visits should be extended for games going into extra innings. But I do hate when managers make visits to the mound as a stalling tactic to get their bullpen ready. 6 visits in AAA, 8 in AA, and 10 in A ball is plenty for a 9 inning game
