Kinda liking the idea of a pitch count and preventing them from taking forever up there on the mound

MLB to experiment with new extra inning rules in minor leagues this coming season

So if a pitcher has a perfect game through 9 but the game is scoreless, he automatically loses the perfect game in the 10th? Or if the runner on second doesn't count as breaking up the perfect game, that means the runner could steal third and home or score on a wild pitch or a passed ball or a sac fly and the pitcher can get credit with a complete perfect game and still lose.
fucking dumb. just get the pitch clock in the majors already
I can already see the ads. EXTRA INNINGS: The gloves come off

From how the article frames it, I wonder how much of this particular change is to do with Torre.
I'm not sure 5-day-long matches would do much to satiate people who can't deal with 4-hour games.

This is completely untrue. Bonus babies almost universally start in rookie ball

I've been playing baseball since I was 2 years old and cricket will never not be weird and nonsensical to me.

Is it mentioned anywhere about how it is decided who gets dropped to 2nd base?
Does the team have to burn a bench player? Do they get to choose the player? Is it a player already pulled from the game? I mean how does this work?
What if this person is fucking BIlly Hamilton...

Funny, I tune into MLB only when it is in the 9th or extra innings.
So maybe do that 2nd base thing for the entire game until extra innings.
I played baseball growing up, still play slo-pitch but will not be caught dead watching the first 145 games of the MLB season.

If this makes its way to the majors the Reds struck gold just by having Billy there.

The one born in 1990, or the one born in 1886?
Sorry I'm unfamiliar with leagues lower than A.
Does the Rookie league charge for admission?

They are professional baseball games so yes.
Source?
Hey, you're the one saying it's not true, so please provide a direct source.

Look at any major league club's website and their minor league affiliates. You should see a number of rookie ball clubs.

These are likely to include their DCL and PCL teams as well as various rookie ball leagues and teams.
Oh. Somehow my searches were saying the tickets are free since there are no admission fees nor concession stands.
Answer is probably more complex than a simple yes/no.
What do those abbreviations mean? I get ? did you mean for the first and medical terms for the later.

Agreed. We need more 19 inning games like the one we had last year! ;o
Which 19 inning game was that?
The Indians/Blue Jays game?
Or the Cleveland/Toronto game?
Avatar bet is off? This is the last time I'm bringing it up.

This is acceptable if the runner is the team mascot
Otherwise no

What made you think that? The rules don't even stay the same between the AL and the NL.

Interesting to see how this would pan out. What determines which runner is placed on 2nd at the beginning of each extra inning? Is it just who is up next in the batting order? Would teams take an intentional out in previous innings if there is a speedster up first next inning?
I am all about pace of play changes, but I feel like this changes the game too much and there are some holes that can be cut in it.

It's not even "yelling at clouds."
It's "I didn't know how to manage a bullpen aside from with a lead in the 9th because Rivera, or a dozen mound visits and pitching changes so that I burnt out arms, and so everyone else must have the same incapacity for managing a bullpen."
Ban, please.

Teams shouldn't be assisted with getting players on base for the sake of speeding up the game. Also, I wonder how this would affect the OBP of the person who is placed on 2nd at the beginning of the at-bat.
