MiLB adopts extra-inning rule for 2018

Courtesy runners anyone?

I miss Selig.


Gonna suck when baseball gets just as faggy as football and the NBA.

Nobody else missing that sorry ass excuse.

This shit doesn't even exist in HS baseball.


I'd take Kennesaw Mountain Landis at this point.

Courtesy runners do though. Gets more kids in the game. And speeds things up in between innings.


High school kids putting on catchers gear can be like watching a three year old tie his shoes. Brutal.

A few years ago they discussed this and never thought it would actually happen. God I hope the idea of batting whoever you want doesn't ever pick up the steam this dumbass idea did.

Selig is the reason these bozo 'pace of play' ideas are even in the mix. Shoving 90 minutes of commercials into a 2-hour baseball game was bound to eventually piss off somebody. I am waiting for the 1-1 count to open the inning and a K on a 3rd foul ball.

At least they are trying new shit. This...is not good. But. They might stumble onto some thing.
They have to. Kids just not growing up with the game in numbers we need

Screw this rule. Home Run Derby baby! That's how you settle a tie

That would make as much sense and be more fun to watch.
