Anybody like the MLB extra inning rule?

Personally I hate it. It's stupid it's still going on. It was all right when COVID was a big issue but that's no longer the case. You should have to earn the bases in my book.

I could see it being useful in high school

Game played after school, want to get the kids home if its an away game

As a fan of the game I hate it. As a live in game bettor I love it. You can get some really nice +odds. There are some really good teams that suck in this format like the Dodgers I believe. The odds can be huge in taking the away team when they don't score top of the inning. This isn't old school baseball where it is more of a gimme to get that run in moving the runners. Today's players are not capable of bunting let alone hitting the ball to move the runner. It is home run or nothing for them.

Worst rule ever. If you do not want to play the extra innings just call it a tie. lol.

Almost as awful as the “Infield Fly” rule…

Another I hate is not having to actually throw 4 balls for an “Intentional Walk”

Not a fan. It's all about speeding up the game

But does it really?

Both teams start off with a runner on 2nd and no outs..

What’s the difference ??

Exactly especially when both teams get another run each and it's still tied after 10...

Pretty simple. Start with a runner in scoring position. Not likely to have a long multi extra inning game.

Guess it can be seen anyway. Just my take on it. Come up in home half 1 single wins it.

How about a Home Run Hitting Contest?

3rd Base Coaches have to pitch…

I like it the way it was…

Just like Sudden Death in football…
