    Goodness these Cardinal announcers just think that Molina has super powers.

    I'm of course glad that the Cubs won but man was that boring baseball.

    I reject your telling of the story.

    Only other major sport where this is not a possibility is the NBA. Somehow the NFL, NHL, and MLS fans all cope just fine. There are no ties in the NHL. Ugh...yeah ok...shootouts...whatever. I was thinking of the regular season games stopping before endless overtime during the regular season and whoops.

    Not too surprising. Buddy of mine predicted that before the last loss. When you're in charge of the PK and the defense, and that happens....not good.

    This sounds well researched and factual, so how can I argue? I'll go do some research on how ending games in a tie will add thousands of fans. BRB Just one fan. Not thousands. You said it wouldn't add one.

    I was long ago blocked by Kaplan and Haugh for mocking on of their commercials on CSN. I do sometimes miss being able to see his stupid tweets.

    Heyward had a .344 wOBA this year entering today's game(.329 at this instant). His career total is .336, including .346, .329, and .344 in the years before joining the Cubs. He's snagged a couple singles from BABIP luck but the rest of his peripherals are not abnormal. Treating Heyward's 2017 as if it is flukish or out of the ordinary for him is strange. Yeah, his total fart of a 2016 is the abnormality.

    Only other major sport where this is not a possibility is the NBA. Somehow the NFL, NHL, and MLS fans all cope just fine. How is that weird? The whole point is to try to get people that don't watch the game because it's too long or too boring to watch the game. I mean, disagree with it...that's fine. I'm obviously in the minority liking this idea. But it's not at all a weird demographic to appeal to.

    au contraire... http://www.espn.com/blog/st-louis-cardinals/post/_/id/3093/cardinals-putting-up-the-money-to-take-down-the-cubs Wait, that article only has a time on it...not a date...is that from today? That seems like an awfully delusional piece to write at the moment.

    But the impact lasts longer than a game. The bullpen is taxed, so the next game we have to run the starter longer. I'm not saying any pitcher is breaking just because of lengthy games...like you said, it doesn't happen frequently enough. But I just don't see the upside. What's to gain? By the 13th inning, fans are just ready for it to be over...players are tired...call it a tie and move on. Save the marathon games for the playoffs, like hockey does. By this logic MLB should also have a slaughter rule to shorten games to 5 innings if one team is up by 5 runs or w/e. This is a solution in search of a problem. Nah, that happens far more often, and would have a much larger impact. This is a change that would be to what you already showed was a very small number of games.

    "Pitchers get injured way too often" "Make em pitch 19 inning games in April!" No one cares about the long relievers that bear the brunt of extra inning games. Also, a long extra inning game or two isn't going to be the difference between a pitcher breaking or not, it's a negligible difference between the manager's discretion of just using that guy an extra time or two over the course of a month.

    http://nypost.com/2017/04/15/baseball-should-have-tie-games-whether-you-like-it-or-not/ Title of the thread not withstanding, I'm all for this. Nobody cares after the 12th inning anyway.

    And all of this completely ignores Mike Matheny, who IMO consistently plays the wrong players because they're "his guys".
  25. Banedon
    I concur, and hope that it's the case.
