It’s a bit odd but all the sports all have to make weird rules. The pitch clock, the single timeout for batters, the throw over rule this extra inning rule all help make the game way more watchable IMO. Manfred has put in good stuff.

But I think it’s kinda the same thing where they have to have a good way to end the games in regular season so they don’t go on forever. But agreed it’s weird and not ideal, just the best compromise. Watched every minute of the M’s game last night and loved it. October baseball is the shet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M’s had a man on 2nd no outs 3 times in extra innings and couldn’t move him over. WTMF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 3,481 Posted Saturday at 05:08 PM 3 minutes ago, edjr said: it makes no sense and I am not okay with it I get in regular season sort of. Playing the percentages over 162 games. A bunt is a wasted out and all the moneyball stuff. In a win or go home tho in extra innings. Madness. They just don’t know how to do it or lose their minds or something.

posty 2,798 Posted 9 hours ago As long as the Dodgers don’t make it, I am fine with either AL team…. I guess the Mariners are more supported over the Jays due to never making the World Series… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
