I don’t necessarily “hate it” I just wouldn’t start the 10th. Even 11th would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 What I don't understand is if they love this rule so much, how come they don't use it in the playoffs? 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its purely to avoid the handful of marathon games each season that obviously the players hate, the staff hates, and it ruins pens for weeks. But its rare, and it stupid to ruin all extra inning games for that. Start the rule in the 12th. I could live with that. I guess I "get it", but still hate it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierSox Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) A good compromise would have been having the runner start at 1st instead of 2nd. It's a stupid rule as is and cheapens extra innings games. Edited February 13, 2023 by HoosierSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to burn a bunch of arms in a long season because of extra innings games especially if you happen to be one of those teams that goes too extra innings often. This isn't the old days when pitchers could throw so many innings. Most relievers are good for only 1 inning these days. You can't be a traditionalist if the game has changed and it has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossanoveralls Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Manfred must be a NASCAR fan. Young France has turned NASCAR into the WWE. Manfred wants to "tinker" with the rules every year just like his buddy, France. Inquiring mind motherfuckers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I’m in the minority, but I love this rule. I don’t see how it detracts from the game in any way, and it helps to make witnessing the end of games more accessible. I haven’t seen any downsides whatsoever; the only reason to dislike it is to dislike change in general. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a big advantage to some team all because a really fast guy made an out. While I understand extra innings aren't always that equal depending where you are in the line up, it seems odd to reward a team for an out. And if the rule is so great, why don't they include it in the playoffs. Pitching can be even more scarce then.

And if the rule is so great, why don't they include it in the playoffs. Pitching can be even more scarce then. I agree that’s the closest thing to a problem. But I guess I feel like it’s natural for varying base running skills and batting order luck to factor into the game situation. Admittedly that’s just a personal feeling, but it just seems to line up with how the game already sort of works — like you’re in an extra inning situation, you have an advantage of the good part of your batting order is up, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
