So, the umpires have some kind of explanation, but I don't see what it could possibly be. Once you start making your warm-up tosses, you are in the game.

On Baseball tonight they had the Astros manager being interviewed and said he was in the rules committee last year and said that they changed the rule. It's not in the rulebook from what the guys on BT said so IDK what he was talking about. It'll be interesting to see how MLB handles this. The rule hasn't been changed, but the Astros manager said that it was last year.
