If this dumbass rule is gonna get forced on me then I'm gonna call the runner on second whatever the gently caress I want and pedantic nerds are gonna deal with it. Ghost runner.

many great terms in this thread, each and every one of them superior to "ghost runner" which is a term that already exists and means something completely different

Position players pitching is fun as like a twice a year novelty when the whole pitching staff is burned in an eighteen-inning game or something. It’s not fun as just a standard tactic teams break out every couple of weeks when the starter gets torched. Honestly, if a team wants to stock their bullpen purely with max-effort one-inning guys, they should be forced to take the risk that occasionally they’re not going to have enough pitchers. That means extra innings, not letting teams easily cycle pitchers between the majors and triple-A, and cracking down on position players pitching except in the direst emergencies. Every rule sold as “protecting pitchers” is really just protecting this style of boring roster construction, and then they act surprised that the strikeout record gets broken every year.

When a batter mashes the ball to the wall and ends up on second base, I'm going to start calling that a double play. What's that you say, "double play" is already a baseball term and it means kinda the opposite of this? I don't care nerd!

Has anyone considered that ghost runner is just a great word and worth stealing. It sounds cool and is fun to say. Whatever media person did this for us should be celebrated as a word genius. The sandlot kids will just have to make up some other word now. They didn't deserve it anyway so don't be sad.

The extra innings runner and the position player pitching rule are stupid, gently caress Manfred. How about you figure out how to make a baseball correctly first

You could tell me anything about the Angels season and link it to any record and I'd believe you. "Mike Trout misses 60 games but still plays well enough to win the MVP and the team wins 81 games" is just as likely as "Mike Trout plays all year, Shohei wins the Cy Young, and the Angels win 79 games".

Man I’ve been trying to get back into actually watching baseball with my eyeballs instead of just following it for literally years now and this stupid rear end rule change seriously makes me reconsider even bothering. I really hope the ‘unearned runner’ term takes off because it’s perfect.

https://twitter.com/JesseRogersESPN/status/1625192309234221057 Honestly, I'd be in favor of a mercy rule. If the Pirates are down by 14 against a great offense in the 7th, do we really need to burn their team's arms and salt the earth?
