We are getting screwed out of 4 innings of absolute mayhem between these two bullpens today. It was good entertainment, one of 162, onto tonight. Glad we'll be back to normal 9 inning games next year and the starting an extra inning with a base runner rule will likely be modified. They've screwed with the rules of the game too much in recent years IMO for the sake of speeding it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 There isn’t a ml player that like 7 innings per DH game or the ghost runner in the 10th. Any mlb fan despises both. Thankfully both are gone next year 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 7 innings are great. Now we have the 90 year old baseball fans complaining about nostalgia and 5 cent ball park franks deciding the game rules.

Damage In Tolland Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Baseball is the farthest thing from dying. Best sport and it’s not close. NFL and NBA full of issues. While it’s not as fast paced.. MLB will always be America’s sport and pass time . Long games are the best . If you don’t watch baseball why post about the Sox?

I’m 100% with you. And MLB has had some of its highest ratings in TV in years and MLB TV is having a monster season. A lot of younger fans are not watching their local teams but other teams with superstars like Tatis Jr, Vladdy Jr, etc. Theres a lot more cross team watching going on than ever before. 9 innings or bust IMO. Don’t mess with game length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Covid, new rules etc make baseball more fun. But now that the 90 yr old curmudgeons want 4 hrs of baseball for 162 games, the slide will continue in ratings and attendance like it has done for 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Football is by far the best sport for fantasy because they only play once a week. Makes it manageable. You gotta be committed to do MLB fantasy. Personally though I like a sport where my team plays more than once a week. Like today, they lose one game, whatever reset and watch another a couple hours later. They lose the second game, we get to try it again tomorrow lol. And the next day, and the next. Don’t have to wait 6-7 days to watch my team and stew over it all week. Just reset each day for like half a year . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
