drat, that's one of the craziest plays I've seen. Sucks they had to get ejected, cause they just thought they pulled the upset of the century.

:siren:My girlfriend:siren: was unaware of the extra innings baserunner rule until just now. She is very against it. She has promised to start a blog if they try to implement it in MLB in which she calls it bullshit and claims Rob Manfred has a tiny dick.

She feels very strongly about 18-inning games.

Starting every 11th inning with a :bunt:

Yes, of course then the obligatory IBB after the sac bunt. Just start the 11th with bases loaded and 1 out to save time.

So the away team gets the advantage of leading off with a sac bunt, basically trading 1 out for runners on 2nd and 3rd. If they score runs, the home team gets that luxury stolen from them, because they need every out when they are looking at a 7 run deficit. You think Colombia will bunt?

Yeah the baserunners kind of sucked all of the excitement out of that, to be honest.

If they wanted to shorten games, they should award the two free base-runners in the bottom of the 10th instead of the top of the 11th.

I want the US to lose and Israel (which is basically also a US team) to win, specifically to spite Ian Kinsler and the rest of my people who think they're too good for the mensch on the bench
