What the hell is going on?! Grabbed my phone to head out for a run, thought the game might just be starting, instead already 3-0 six minutes in. Good lord.
Allow the hitter only one foul ball after strike two. After that a foul ball counts as a strikeout. Batter can’t call time during an at bat, has to be back in the box five or so seconds after the previous pitch. No conferences between pitchers and infielders or even the catcher when they’re in the field - talk strategy in the dugout during the half inning you’re at bat.
