I kind of like this rule.
On the other hand, the National League was having no problem batting for the pitcher and double switching and all that. That said, if the price is taking Vulgar Pete out of the game because the SP is getting rocked – well I don’t think the rule is entirely perfect. Not sure how to solve, but at least they are trying.
The experimental new rules in the Atlantic League rewards a team if the starter goes at least 5 innings, but loses the DH if starter pulled earlier. pic.twitter.com/ptR1c3UbbD
