Says his doctors say it is severe inflammation, he is on steroids and has a humidifier in the studio. He's absolutely grating to listen to with his voice in this condition. |

Mac sounds terrible, but I can't imagine anything sounding worse than Len Kasper advocating for baseball games ending in ties. Shut up, nerd. |

Match up Mac and Sara Spain for a bit, call it the "Itchy and Scratchy Sports hour" |

I don't think its that bad of idea, it would be like hockey in terms of points. |

How about they play an extra 3 innings with only 8 guys in the field and if still tied after 3 extra frames they go to a 10 round HR derby. |

For real?Well, he backpedaled like he was trying to win the Ecnarf ed Ruot, saying that it would never happen and he didn't necessarily want to fight for it, but said that in an age of protecting pitchers' arms and avoiding people leaving for the exits before the game is over, maaaaaybe it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if major-league games were capped at 12 or 13 innings. Len said only 2% of games go past 13 innings, anyway. Okay, so then what's the problem? I'm gonna find the Joe Sheehan newsletter he stole this idea from, wad it up, and throw it at him. |

Oh, and of course, Len said that infinite overtime isn't a problem that the NBA has. I think praising the NBA has become like telling your wife she looks nice before you go out -- it's this gesture that's required of you as a matter of course. The Philly Special was one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history. I wonder if they got it from the NBA. |

Then like I said in the thread in the MLB Section, if saving your bullpen is more important than winning a ballgame, have your guy groove a couple of fastballs in the 13th or 14th inning and somebody will hit one out to end the game soon enough. Or just put a position player on the mound to throw batting practice for an inning.  The last few minutes of an NBA game- OT or not- can take as long as an MLB game does.

Nothing is gained out of 15+ inning games. The product is shit. The fans are checked out. |

Let's just leave it alone. It's rare that they go longer than 12 innings. So everybody calm the hell down. Ties in baseball? No. People just want to change stuff for the sake of doing something. It's fine. |

The last few minutes of an NBA game- OT or not- can take as long as an MLB game does.Do a 25 + 1, where the extra player has to be a pitcher. Then shut the fuck up and play by the rules. Ot stop training relievers to simply rely on heat and train them to pitch and maybe handle more than one inning. |

Mac should be sent home until his voice improves. I tried to listen but bailed after a few minutes. |

Correct me if I’m wrong but if nothing else you’re a baseball guy, right? Baseball guys shouldn’t promote that type of nonsense. Leave it to the baseball haters to try to suggest crazy ideas to “fix” the sport. That said, Hussra’s idea has merit. |
