Would be worse than the shootout in the NHL, and almost as bad as whatever playoff system they use in NASCAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easy does it Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Seriously why not get rid of extra innings all together or call the game a tie after the 12th inning or so. As far as the 2nd base thing it's a stupid idea, you can't have something like that in a playoff game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronald Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 They do that in some international tournaments. I don't have a problem with it for regular season. I'm sure everyone would be on board: owners, networks, players' union. Could happen eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronald Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 No one likes long ballgames, except fans. And even then, many fans go home early when games get deeper into extra innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisman Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 that is a stupid idea, just like college football overtime is a stupid idea. Unfortunately, they implemented that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisman Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'd prefer they just say if it gets to a certain amount of innings, the game is a tie. No stupid rule changes to shorten the game and produce a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
