Camel Nose Under the Tent (Extra Inning Rule Change)
« on: February 08, 2017, 08:45:29 pm »
Stop this plague right here, don't let it spread!

"Major League Baseball plans on testing a rule change in the lowest levels of the minor leagues this season that automatically would place a runner on second base at the start of extra innings, a distinct break from the game’s orthodoxy that nonetheless has wide-ranging support at the highest levels of the league, sources familiar with the plan told Yahoo Sports."

Will be used in the GCL and AZL this season.

This is complete unadulterated horseshit. That God damn commissioner seems hellbent on ruining the game.

Reaction has been universally negative, so I don't think there's much chance this expands any time soon.

Who ever came up with this crap doesn't understand the game.

I saw a great point:

Let's say a pitcher throws a perfect game for 9 innings. Then with this ghost runner in second, he gives up two ground outs in the tenth.

Did he just lose a perfect game? He never allowed a runner to reach base.

I believe that this deserves the full "traveshamockery" treatment.

No. That's still a perfect game.

Bad wording on my part. He threw a perfect game... and was also the losing pitcher.

It ain't a hypothetical any longer:
