It was two plays. That dive into the crowd, and that little 15 foot relay to the catcher against the A's in the playoffs. And the runner was safe.

Think that, at a certain point, maybe specific to each case but certainly kicking in by latter nonagenarian years, rich/powerful people should just be forcefully kept alive by any means necessary (utilizing their own fortunes, obviously) because at that point death is just a desirable release. Like Kissinger: he won, emphatically, the only satisfaction or justice there is if he just hangs on in pain and infirmity for as long as possible.

Doubly so that they’re pairing him with Arod. I thought they had a pretty acrimonious relationship. Or maybe Fox wants catty exchanges.

That's stupid. I wonder why they love this stupid rule?

Honestly, I'd prefer innings 10-11-12-13 be played per normal rules, and if you can't win by the end of the 13th, you take a tie.

zoux
Apr 28, 2006

Because it turns 15 inning games into 10 inning games like magic. It's essentially silver goal/NFL overtime rules: sudden death but the other team gets a chance to answer.

As a person who roots for a team in the central time zone who plays on the west coast all the time, this is more of an academic distinction for me.
