Man, I cannot believe this crap.

I would prefer a 10 inning cap on extra inning games over ghost runners.

Ties would be better than that garbage. And ties suck.

Manfred will have them flipping a coin after the 10th.

Ghost Runners In the Skyā€¦

To save even more time, all coins will be pre-flipped.

The game going woke. Ghost runner an unearned position on the field. Participation runner, like the trophies they hand out. Kind of sad that adult players, playing a game for millions, needs participation runners.

Thatā€™s a stretch. Baseball is probably the least woke sport in America. This is about rich ass motherfuckers not wanting to play long games, the end.

What, exactly, do you think ā€œwokeā€ means?

Canā€™t tell if serious or just yelling at cloud

crazy world it seems at times.

Fuck clouds, Iā€™m yelling at mesquite trees

Woke is the catch all term for ā€œshit I donā€™t like.ā€
They are keeping it because of the shortened off-season.

If I was a relief pitcher Iā€™d be fucking lividā€¦

ā€œWokeā€ is probably used in the literal context. I stayed up through the entire WS extra inning game against LA, including the adrenaline-induced postgame, and was a work zombie the next day. This runner rule will be fun to justify in the postseason, and will further reduce viewership

Are they actually doing it in the post season?

Didnā€™t they decide to not use it in the playoffs last year?

Andrew Miller retired. God, was he scary in his prime.

I hope not, and think it wasnā€™t used. Iā€™m steeled for any Manfred ploy to ā€œimproveā€ the product
