This is a totally voluntary thing that young players can choose, or choose not to, enter. It's an insurance policy of sorts. I don't see how MLB could crack down on it or why they would.
Pathetic 3/15 w/RiSP, more than a few of those with multiple RiSP. Yet those produced just 4 runs [McNeal single x 2, Baty single, Guillorme single]. The other 2 runs came via Nimmo driving himself in plus a GiDP ball that the Yanx failed to turn. Our XBH quota was filled on the 2nd pitch of the game. I assume that the record for losing games with five run leads in the same week is seven or less but that's at least four for us so maybe this gives us the honors on that front.
