I'm ok with it, but no runs or stolen bases should count for the guy leading off on 2nd in extra innings. No LOB, FC, RBI DP's should count for/against for the batter either.

Yeah, from the article, it looks like they accounted for the runner pretty well from a pitcher's perspective, but from a batter's perspective, it is a little murky.

I understand these rules are for pace of play. And the mound visits seem substantial enough where it shouldn't create too much of a problem. However, MiLB ball is supposed to be for development, so I guess they had to balance between a faster paced game and a kid getting some good mound pitching advice from a coach. Especially when they are considering making an infielder coming over to say something to the pitcher as a mound visit.

Anyway, saw this article a few days ago and was waiting for it to come up. Never did, so I thought I'd throw it out there.
