Let's assume there will be < 60 game regular season

Also, new weird wrinkle in the extra inning rule. Not that it would probably ever happen, but a pitcher could now lose a perfect game. 0-0 after 9, starter stays in for the 10th going for the perfect game. Runner begins on 2nd, advances to third via stolen base or sac fly and then scores on sac fly. Pitcher would technically be perfect, but would also lose. Never allowed a base runner so doesn’t cross the threshold to no hitter rather than perfect game.

If the runner from second scores is it an ER for the pitcher starting the inning?
 
Walker to 45 day DL per MLBTR

The Braves announced Friday that they’ve placed right-hander Jeremy Walker on the newly created 45-day injured list due to a right shoulder impingement.

So a bunt equals an automatic base advancement?

The visiting team won’t do that either depending on part of order. Watching minor league games you saw the top of the inning play out more traditional unless the bottom half of the lineup was hitting. Visiting teams know they need more than one run to win most likely.

They might as well put the runner on third with one out, because the first batter up will bunt 99% of the time.

Not sure it matters all that much. Couldn't find any data for the past few years but from 2010-2015 the chance at least 1 run would score from 2nd with no outs is 0.614. With 3rd and one out is 0.675. So a slight increase on a successful bunt. But the chances goes way down on failed bunts. Just swing away.

With the new extra-inning rule, if there was ever a good argument for having Billy Hamilton (or a similar speedster) as your 25th guy, this is it.

But you don’t get to pick who the runner on second is. It’s the player that made the final out of the prior inning. So if Tyler Flowers was the last out, he’s on second.

And to clvclv, to call up Pache and have his clock start to act as a glorified pinch runner is a horrible, horrible waste for the Braves. If you’re going to waste a season of his clock on this silly season, you’d want him getting serious playing time, and we already have a glut of outfielders. Only way he sees time on the active roster is there are massive injury concerns and I think he’s still below people like Ortega and O’Brien on the pecking order.

I have decided to hang in to see the outcome of the CBA. Based on some of the things I have read and seen it looks like the union is setting up for a bloody fight. I have a feeling some of Manfred's rule changes might be casualties the way some are talking. Maybe even Manfred's job is on the line.

But what is the rule, can you immediately pinch run for that player on 2nd? I haven't seen clarification on that.
