Why doesn't MLB allow games to end in ties?


easy does it

I'm surprised this hasn't been up for debate more. I'm not talking about calling it a tie after 9 but rather playing somewhere between 4-6 extra innings if the game is still tied and simply call it a tie if the game is still tied.No one wants to see batters pitching because a team is out pitchers or teams with empty benches and no pinch hitters left. I'm sure a majority of the players and managers would prefer it as well. No one wants to see a game finish at 1 am.

I once sat through a 20 inning game. Luckily it was a 1:10 start.

Nothing but 0s after the 9th inning until winning run was scored. Was one of the worst experiences of my life.

The pain would be so much less if it was called after 15 innings

 

Those chains binding you to your seat are admittedly painful
