Thoughts?

I like this idea. Not only does it give pitchers the proper time to warm up since HS coaches often pull position players in the game to come in and relieve without a bullpen, it also can get bench players in the game where they might not have and also makes them have to stay loose during the game since they can be called in any time to the game.

If utilized right, this rule can benefit everyone.

Many tournaments we play in have a rule that demands the relief pitchers come from the bullpen---I like it---it means that every pitcher enters the game warmed up and loose

From the article: "Unlike offensive teams, who often benefit from inserting a "courtesy runner" for a slower pitcher or catcher..."

Just try to get FED to admit that has any consideration in their rule. "Oh, it's a speed up rule."

My A$$.

This has nothing to do with speeding up the game--it pertains to the pitchers arms

I was referring to the line I quoted which is in refrence to the current courtesy runner rule which FED claims is a speed up and increased participation rule, but in reality is used most often to replace slow catchers and pitchers with speedier runners.
