Lip Man 1 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 With the new experimental rules: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/atlantic-league-player-becomes-first-professional-to-steal-first-base-days-after-new-rule-is-introduced/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) I don’t like this experimental rule. It’s 3 strikes and you’re out and you can only run to 1B on a dropped third strike. Here’s a follow up question. Is play considered dead during a mound visit or can baserunners steal bases during them?

southsideirish71 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 This might be the dumbest rule in a long time. Lets award a batter for just showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
