Will Manfred and his henchmen atop MLB...
really stick with their plan to begin to use a “3 batter rule vs a pitcher unless inning ends” in 2020?
I say no – it’s too drastic a change in the strategy of managing a bullpen. But then, what do I know? I guess that’s why I’m asking!

I expect it’s set in stone. The union has agreed not to file a grievance over the rule, which is something MLB had to bargain for. That’s hard to do and I can’t imagine they’d have gone to that trouble unless they were determined to do it.
