SilverBullet 2,714 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Why just 7 innings??? Teams have already played 9 inning games this season so there goes competitive integrity. Should have done 7 from day one if that's what they wanted. And what's 2 more innings and that point anyways. Awful. I can take lesser games but changing the games themselves should have been a strong no from day one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmc523 579 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I don't really see what the point of this is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SonOfJack 2,601 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I dislike this as well. Seems unnecessary. If they are concerned about too many innings for players, keep the roster size at 30. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet 2,714 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Jesus this also means a runner to start the EIGHTH AND NINTH INNINGS. Manfred is the absolute worst and he keeps seemingly getting even worse with every decision under his watch. Every fan hates this, no good will come of this. Despite ruining the actual games they don't even care about the harm this does to the fanbase that they desperately need to try and keep happy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet 2,714 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Ken Rosenthal says the idea is to preserve pitching... then add 2 pitchers to the roster on each double header day, like Jack suggested above. Why couldn't these idiots think of that? I'm sure the union would have loved that idea too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like why now? All the sudden they realized they want to preserve pitching? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that explains that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Das Texan 149 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I really dont care one way or another. Especially if its for 2020 only. Get as out of the box and creative as you want. End of day, fans wont care when you revert back to how baseball is come 2021. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. Not when games in the same season are being played under different rules. If they were gonna do 7 inning games all year then that's different but not like this. If I'm the manager of a team that blows a lead in the bottom of the 7th and loses on a walk off I'm furious that I don't get the 2 extra innings to come back when I would get those innings if the game was not on a double header day. That's bullshit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FishFan95 730 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Players should be payed for 7/9 of a game for double headers then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's bullshit. Honestly, I dont think anybody really cares in 2020 end of day. This is just an opportunity to really just get after it fully here and do some real radical things that are outside the box. In 2020, this is one of the things I least hate Manfred for honestly.
