SoI've watched all the games of the Series so far (only 10 innings of the Monday game). I haven't really watched baseball seriously since 1993 (I have been to several Jays games at Skydome since then but only to drink expensive beers and catch up with some out-of-towner old friends).

I never knew they changed some rules.I like the automatic intentional walk, for instance. In my day (cue Grandpa Simpson voice) the pitcher would have to throw wild pitches four times to intentionally walk a batter). I was looking forward on Monday to seeing something I'd read about; how extra innings start with a runner on second already; but alas apparently that doesn't happen in the playoffs. So those that know, does this happen EVERY extra inning or just the first one?
