wtf...?

Turning into little league

what the fuck... Commissioner Manfred shortening and ruining baseball 1 day a time. Who gives a fuck whether each game is 3 hours long; you pay a substancial amount for a ticket, I want to enjoy the experience.. not watch some stupid ass rules get put in play that shorten it.

He really is tho. Its fucking retarded what he is trying to implement.

First i hear about making the strike zone smaller and getting rid of intentional walks... now this horse shit. dude should be assassinated

how would this affect a pitcher's era if the run scores? and would the runner get credit for scoring a run? let's say the visiting team cashes in that run...does the closer get a blown save if the runner scores from 2nd in the bottom half of the inning despite nobody being "responsible" for that runner reaching base?

apart from the statistical inferences, i think it would be too drastic of a change and the implications on stats and strategy would be profound. you could just bunt the runner over to third and hit a sac fly every time.

I don't think it would have implications on the pitcher, unless it's a pitcher that pitched the previous inning?, otherwise I don't see them counting it against a pitcher because like you said he wasn't responsible for the runner.

And who would the runner be? The batter that ended the previous inning?

Works both ways though, could go for the bunt/sac or try to get as many batters up as possible.

hmm, in regards to what you mentioned with there being no implications on the pitcher. i think it's interesting to talk about.

let's say the runner scores from 2nd and that team then wins the game, but the losing team's pitcher isn't charged for the run and also isn't given a blown save, then how can one say that the players were even responsible for losing?

and if he is given a blown save, the pitcher is definitely given the short end of the stick, right?

stats would have to be changed and the record books would potentially be affected depending on how they decide to account for the runs being scored and who the run belongs to, whether it's a blown save or not, etc.

i mean extra inning games happen kinda often. the rule would save bullpen arms and time, but i dont see it being accepted by players. i think in large part, only the more casual fans would appreciate such a drastic rule change. i dont see it being implemented into the majors.

Lol so stupid wtf

i gave this a few days of thought before rushing to judgement and commenting...

its sounds even worse today than I first thought.
Bush league rule and the statistical implications mentioned above are gross.

This whole speed up the game philosophy bullshit...they'd just use that time to initiate TV timeouts for more commercials.
