Subdeacon Joe Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 M watching (ok, I watched, since the game just ended) the Giants and Nationals game. Second game of a double header. It really tweaks my mind hearing the 8th inning be called an extra inning. They need to go back to games being 9 innings and drop the man on 2nd to start extra innings.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Some of these new "rules" truly are crimes against nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 They need to find ways to get back to 2 hour 20 minutes games. These 3+ hour 9 inning games are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 So the 7th inning stretch is now the walk to the parking lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the commissioners office thinks games need to be faster and higher scoring to make them more exciting. I can't think of many things more exciting than a 0-0 game going into the 9th inning.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 And worse, on double header day, seven no-hit innings is not a no-hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
