Yeah, darn near just about anything goes. But FUBlue is right. And why not, by rule, give the players the game that they want? Men's ball has changed since I played it, but it's still a great game and I want to see it stay alive. There's nothing like some of those games where the pitches come at 80-100+ miles/hour.
The men's rule was adjusted to stay competitive with other sanctioning bodies.

I agree with the change and wish they had passed it across the board. I guess there were too many purists in the JOs to get it by.

I still like the idea of moving the PP back, keep the circle and let the pitcher do anything they want as long as start while in contact with the PP and they don't leave the circle.
