One of the stupidest things ever. I get some of the things they incorporated to speed things up a bit, though I am against timers in baseball generally. But everyone was primping and pimping out there, they had to do something about 4 hour games.
But this idiocy. When a game goes to extras, it kind of makes sense that it is going to be a longer game. No need to speed that part of up, people are already prepared for a longer time. Plus it is absolutely ridiculous that without a hit or a walk, without doing anything really of worth, you can take the lead or win the game in extras with a guy scoring who doesnt even belong on base. With you on this, brother.
