Commissioner Manfred, operating through his puppet, President of Minor League Baseball Pat O’Connor, continues to give baseball fans exactly what they don’t want by announcing a series of league-wide rule changes that will go into effect across all levels of Minor League Baseball this year. These changes include:
- In all games, at all levels, the tenth inning will begin with a runner on second base. The runner placed at second will be the player who bats immediately before the player who is due to come up first that inning—as if the ninth inning had simply continued with that player, instead of making an out to end the inning, reaching second.
