But they aren't doing that


No limitation on pinch hitting.

Of course there was always the "relief pitcher must face on batter" rule. So a pitcher came in, the offensive manager pinch hit, and the pitcher HAD to face him.

They've basically just expanded that to 3 batters (in the current inning. If you come in with two outs and get the last guy out you are not required to pitch to two batters the next inning).
