April 1, 20214 yr For some reason, I assumed extra innings were going back to pre-2020, meaning no runner on second. I figured since the PA killed the dh, everything would revert back to normal. Anyways, good win. Would have sucked to lose that game after leading for almost 7 innings.
April 1, 20214 yr I like the runner on second rule because it seems like it has dramatically shortened games that go into extras, but I also hate it because it's dumb.

Agree it just seems gimmicky. my wife didn’t know and when it happened during the game she goes "what in the Fing rec league softball are they doing here?”

Frankly if they wanted to do it I’d say do it after the 12th inning. Allow 3 more innings before implementing it. I don’t know what their analytics say but it feels to me if both teams get a runner at second base with zero out that there’s a higher chance both teams likely score that run and you are gonna keep the game going.

Just another stupid rule to unsuccessfully attempt to cater to the mindless idiots who think the game is boring or too long.

April 3, 20214 yr I love kruk as an annoucer, he always sounds like they grabbed a random dude out of the stands to do the game.

From what I understand, it's only in play for this year again due to the pandemic. Next year it goes back to normal. I'd still like to see a couple of regular innings first, though.
April 3, 20214 yr Hoskins has to swing at that. It was right in the zone. Cant try to just take the walk 3-2 bases loaded 2 outs.

Because if he strikes out you still get Bryce harper to the plate. And it’s better than him swinging and grounding into a double play. However with two outs you have to be aggressive and assume you’re not gonna get walked unless the pitch is completely out of this zone. And that ball was in the zone so you have to swing at it
