It isn't a big deal and everyone plays by the same rules, but it does change the game.
No, it doesn't change the game. It just takes the game back to where it was last year.

BTW, have you ever noticed that at the upper levels they don't need to play these silly chicken **** games on the bases? How can these teams possibly win?

What changes the game from the manner in which it should be played is the coaching of these children to win at all costs.
Mike,
Backwards is a change. Just because the rule flip flops and reverts to how it once was doesn't mean that it is not a change.
I'm not arguing that this is a good or bad thing - it just is.
How is it chicken **** if it is within the rules?
Again I'm not arguing for or against the change. Coaches must coach within the rules, whatever they may be.
Maybe I'm just arguing for the sake of the argument - sorry.
Kevin
