[IBL] BF rule change needed for extras

[George Blas]

I also typed up something last night on what Doug mentioned. Hopefully it
makes sense:

This is a reminder that a BF system does not work and is not practical once
there is a long extra inning game, etc. under the current system. BAL and
POR played a 17 inning game, which shredded the pen for that game and the
following game. My pen is also completely ruined for the following week 5
despite my best efforts (and an injury as well).

It makes no sense to not have some kind of rule to be able to swap RPs up
and down from the minors when necessary like real life/MLB/MILB -
especially under a BF system.

By the end of my series I had no pitchers left to pitch at all (nor did
BAL), a pen ruined for the following week (2-3 days worth), no position
players even left to pitch as an emergency pitcher in the 10th (luckily the
game ended there), and basically lost the last game because of it. The
whole thing was completely beyond ridiculous - anyone who's been in the
same situation can empathize with.

Anyway my point is I think this needs to be addressed/debated/changed.
