its not that bad!
Rich,
We have a lot of our teams, even the American Legion teams that use free substitution all summer long.
Its great. I love it as umpire, I don't have to worry about the lineup.
Then we implement the Speed Up rules for pitcher and cather.
The game is not changed a bit, its a lot faster.
The only restrictions are for F1. They follow the rules for "regular baseball" as you call it.
In our kids leagues, I like the continuous batting order also. The kids are all playing even if not in the field.
And I love it when the coach is behind 3 runs and his bottom four guys are up and he can't do anything about it.
Now for tournaments, this would never work, but its great for regular season.
Thanks
David
