I think the 10th and maybe the 11th should be played like normal innings, but after that, go with the runner on second thing. The neverending games are horrible for everyone involved, but I don't think one or two extra innings played like usual are a bad thing.

For 10th sure, but yeah I have long said I agree with these extra inning rules as it was fun addition in the WBC
There is too much rose tinted glasses with some of the old rules of baseball and watching a team swing for the fences until the 18th inning is not fun and f***s over teams. Yes, strategy of the game but one that can be eliminated as the extra runner on base doesn't mean the games won't go long either
Obviously, the extra inning rule goes out the door in the playoffs

Angel Hernandez sucks at his job.
How is he still employed?

Angel Hernandez sucks at his job. How is he still employed? The best arguments for robot umpires are Angel Hernandez and Joe West.

Personally I think they should treat extra innings sorta like hockey does extra periods. They should be a playoff only thing - ties should be allowed to occur in the regular season and wins and ties should have different point values. I'm sure all that would never happen though, a legion of fans and what not with torches and pitchforks would guarantee that. Haha.

Mets still have their common problems. I'm not overreacting after 3 games, but it's not like they are "just losing." Like last year, they are leaving ducks on the pond and the bullpen is atrocious. But most of all, Luis Rojas is god awful. Gets to cute with plattoons, rotations and playing the scenarios instead of trusting the every day lineup. C-Mccann, 1b- Alsono 2b-Mcneil SS-Lindor 3B- Davis (when healthy) Lf- Smith Cf- Nimmo Rf-Conforto. That should be your everyday lineup. It is called an everyday lineup for a reason. The only time these guys shouldn't play is for injury and maintenance rest day. Mcneil sitting against a righty today was lunacy.

If the Yankees lose his one, than screw Glaber Torres and his defense, and screw Brian Cashman and not getting a shortstop, how much evidence do you need?

Just glad The Phillies offense woke up tonight. Three Home Runs and consistent hitting. That's what's to be expected with a murderers row lookin lineup as it is.
Nola was real off today but the Bullpen pulled through. It's really nice to see a competant Bullpen that doesn't collapse in on itself, at least when Vince Velasquez doesn't pitch, and it's definitely nice to see.
I dont think people expected a 5-1 start but I'm sure not complaining... I just want Velasquez cut lol.

Joe West is, for the most part, a good umpire. Absolutely miserable human being, but he's mostly good at his job. CB Bucknor is awful at home plate, but actually good out in the field.
Angel Hernandez is terrible everywhere.

Mets win today on an absolute bush league move by Michael Conforto. Can't justify that.

So weird hearing Len Kasper in the White Sox booth.
Tarp finally off the field, getting prepared for gametime in 35 minutes. (Would make it a 2 hour 20 minute delay.)

I don't want to go through Game 3 of the 2018 Series again.

Gio Urshela of the Yankees is out today due to side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine. Surprised he's the only one so far.

I'm anticipating more guys doing that, but given my own experiences I won't be shocked if a lot of guys feel fine the next day, but just don't quite play up to their usual standards - like, for me, the side effects were some general aches and mild exhaustion, and I could see a lot of guys figuring "eh, I can play through that" and then people asking where that 0-4 with three Ks night came from.
