OK, now MLB Commissioner
Rob Manfred has gone too far.
The Associated Press is reporting that Major League Baseball will "experiment" with
placing a runner on second base to start extra innings. This will happen in Spring Training
this year and in the 2018 All-Star Game. In our view this is beyond "tinkering" with the fringes of the game to speed it up (like a pitch clock and limiting mound visits). This ridiculous proposal
fundamentally alters the nature of the game. You
know that this "limited" use will
eventually be applied to real games.
This is a bad idea! Stop it in its tracks now!
