For a sport that has its games taking way too long this doesn’t seem to help. |

it would most likely help only to possibly avoid extra innings

Very hard to believe this is really under consideration. More likely some anonymous exec was joking.

Artificial turf was a joke and the designated hitter an abomination. This proposal would take idiocy to a whole new level. It should be immediately relegated to the ash heap of moronic ideas

Kentucky, let's please use snowflake-approved analogies.

Kentucky, let's please use snowflake-approved analogies. I believe that Ky did not intend to offend, but if strangled babies are your cup of tea, I’ll be a snowflake any day |

I could see if you said both teams can choose a spot in the lineup to start the 9th inning...but not one team.

The change would be that if a team were trailing when entering the ninth, they could send out to the plate whomever they’d like.
No mention of once per inning
So, for example. . .
Trailing by one going into the bottom of the 9th with 7, 8, and 9 hitters due up. Instead of #7, I send up Ted Williams. He singles. I send in a pinch runner and put Ted back to the plate. He strikes out (goes without saying ump blew the call). I send Ted back up. Sends a shot to the warning track for a loud second out. Ted heads to the plate again - for his 4th consecutive at bat. Having just seen a dozen or so pitches from a premier closer, he hits a bomb off the red seat for a walk off home run.
How could anyone call this a farce?
