MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

[Kid]

I guess they technically don't in the standings, but the idea of a tie is still honored by getting a point for an SOL.


The fact that baseball games can theoretically go on forever until there is a winner is one of the main things I love about the sport. Ties are dumb. The only reason Emily would want to make any changes would be purely economical.

 

Emily?

 

I think the biggest reason to make a change is that it puts teams that play in those games in a competitive disadvantage for days particularly with respect to bullpens.

 

The second biggest reason is that most games are played at night and super long games go until ridiculous hours.
