What is with all the Bonus Baseball this year?

I think it's good news for hitters in the coming months. Bullpens will become tired, and hitters will be facing either tired or rookie relievers. So when it comes to late innings, it's tee off time!

Yeah. Thursday was a banner example! 18 innings in Oakland, 14 in Chicago and 13 in Baltimore.

I'd like to see a statistic comparing the percentage of extra inning games this year compared to previous highs and norms. Incredible!

Maybe it is just a cycle of baseball thing? Last year, it was the year of the no-hitter/perfecto. This year, its extra inning games.

Next year, maybe guys start seriously stealing bases again????

I was right.

Because games should not end in a tie like some sports do..

I don't know but I wish the rangers would quit playing all year extra inning games.
