a row and if a game goes 15 innings the teams will have used a lot of pitchers and with so many games in the following days with no rest it could be a problem.

I get that but the answer is to expand rosters or end games in a tie for the regular season. Don't change the game by putting players on base that haven't earned it.

It's going to be so boring too. You'll get a bunt to start the inning and then a sac fly and the run scores. It will be so easy to get the run in.

After decades of watching Orioles fail to score with men on 2nd and 3rd, no outs...let’s not get crazy here. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:35 3

  - All jokes aside, it's an easy run to score. It may not happen 80% of the time but I think it scores 40% which is still high. - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:39
