During the initial year in which ASA permitted teams to play shorthanded, a team was not allowed to intentionally walk batters to reach the vacant position.

After that, they determined that they were already allowing a team to continue playing under a scenario which should have been a forfeit, so why deprive the defense of using that vacant position to end an inning.
