Title: Seventh Inning What?
Post by: jmar on April 01, 2021, 09:29:20 AM
Oh yeah. And this is no April Fools joke. The complexion of the game is about to change forever. 

Check out Kevin Millar's piece on the MLB Channel. 

7 inning games for doubleheaders, a runner placed at second to prevent extra innings and so much more. 

How much more you ask?
Don't ask.

Well yeah, I knew this was going to happen and...such and such.
No you didn't.

Those were the rules during the Covid shortened season last year.  Plus, any new pitcher that comes in has to face a minimum of 3 batters.  All designed to speed up the game, which is badly needed IMO.  Not sure about the runner on second to start each extra inning frame, but I'm all for trying any measure to move the games along, including a pitch clock.  Get the pitcher on the rubber, get the batter in the box and let's play ball.

The game has been dead to me for two seasons now.

That band wagon got a lot fuller today my friend. And with good reason. Total horseshit.
