Playing a time limit is adding a rule. Having a rule that requires a pitcher to be removed when he hits x batters is adding a rule. Neither of these examples is varying the existing rules.
And I have seen a player in 9-10 get hit in the nose and the blood went off like a geyser. When I used to coach 9-10 I once had a 10 year that could throw 65 MPH. Had it on radar gun. So if the league wants to add a rule that gets rid of a wild pitcher without me having to work it out with the coach, then I'm all for it, in the interest of safety.
