I thank you. We all have personal peeves; one of mine is renaming
any rules set Tie Breaker Rule as ITB, which actually is only accurate when playing in
International competition. For most rules sets, the rule is identical to the international rule (although many misstate it), but that doesn't make anything more than that rules set Tie Breaker Rule.
As to the question related to tie breaker innings, the earlier statements still apply. The pitcher and catcher of record at the end of the prior half inning are eligible for a courtesy runner; even when they "earn" their way on base by virtue of being the last batter scheduled in this inning.
