My first game with the three-batter rule, I brought in my situational lefty for one hitter, then tried to park him at 1B while bringing in a RHP for one hitter. OOTP did not let me do that, which I gather means the new MLB rule would bar that. So I disabled it.
Recently, The Phils’ Harper got hit by Genesis Cabrera, who obviously did not intend it, and clearly had no clue where the next pitch was going (hit Didi Gregorius in the back). But the manager couldn’t pull Cabrera, because he hadn’t pitched to three guys. To me, that ‘s reason #1001 why this is a silly rule. It doesn’t speed up the game in any material way. Let the managers manage!
