So I couldn’t find a thread on MLB’s new rules and didn’t figure it was deserving just to ask one question, but riddle me this:
Will the 3 batter minimum rule provide new ways of stacking pinch hitters?
Say Reds have Moustakas, Winker, Barnhart up, as soon as the opposing team brings in a LHP, what prevents Reds from immediately PH Senzel, Ervin, Casali?
Could this simple rule change give the Reds a big advantage at critical moments in a game given the depth and IF/OF versatility of this roster?
