The new extra inning rule for the 2020 MLB season is dumb - Coggle Diagram
The new extra inning rule for the 2020 MLB season is dumb
extra innings is a part of baseball.
games can be played for days
starting pitchers used to pitch the entire game even in extras
its a long, tiring game
longest game ever was 25 innings
article
there are no ties
except for when weather ruins it
why it's so dumb!
it makes things quicker
people enjoy watching longer games
now with Covid people have less things to do and can watch more
every team will just pinch run immediately
with the bigger rosters every team can afford to carry pinch runners
people enjoy watching extra innings
extra innings are more exciting
with one swing a team could take the lead
this will always keep people on their feet
now people wouldn't be as excited cause they know the home team has a high chance to tie the game
you get more baseball
people at games could see more for free
I am not usually a baseball purist, but in this case I am
I like the rule about not switching pitchers every batter (at least 3 batters)
I don't mind the time between pitches rule
this rule will change the game too much though
reminds me of a little league game
counterpoint: the rule is good
So games don't go 15 innings
but.....
If you don't want it to go over 15 innings than in the 15th start a runner on second
more action
but...
Teams won't feel as good about winning and neither will the fans
