sorry Frank...I like your style but Caller Bob beat you today on the forums. The bitterness from that WSox loss today will be gone tomorrow and you can start new.

Funny in the cubs game right now the same rule that LaRussa forgot today came into play.

Boogs even was mentioning about how LaRussa didnt know the rule earlier today.

JD goes on to mention WSox fans are not happy w/ TLR not knowing about it.

Taking good games and turning them into little league bullshit. Definitely fucking up the game.

yes we would rather have boring ass extra inning games going into the 12th inning where nothing happens than outs being made. this is much more exciting and shows the strategic side of baseball.

No, it’s just a dumb gimmick. It’s stupid, and anyone who likes it is an idiot.

your not looking at the big picture. it's not for you and me curmudgeons. it's for younger fans, kids, and the future. I like it. like that other poster said, hurry the fuck up with this slow ass sport ASAP.

It is a gimmick but there is solid reasoning behind it. Bullpen pitchers. They get abused. They've been getting abused for 2 decades. And this guy made a solid point that up until I read it, it was just a feeling in my gut that I couldn't put into words:

I don't see how the ghost runner scoring in the 10th inning takes away from the pitching duel. Both of the starters were out of the game by the 10th. The pitching duel had ended and it became just another bullpen game. Did seeing the runner score somehow make Giolito's and Bieber's starts less impressive or enjoyable?

With all due respect to a 0-0 game, factually it's no different than a 10-10 game. The starters aren't pitching in either one of them.

It doesn’t matter what size the picture is, it is stupid and should be immediately reverted back to real big league baseball.

No the individual efforts were still impressive. It was the illegitimate ending to a legitimate big league game that was stupid.

Hitting a ball with a stick is a dumb gimmick. Gimmicks are fun. People who don’t like fun are idiots.

All the really hard games involve a stick and a ball.
