The zombie runner rule is now permanent

It doesn't happen enough for me to get worked up about it or feel its ruining the game. It definitely adds a different strategy, which makes extra innings a bit more interesting.

Hate to be the one to break the news, but baseball is an entertainment product and not a religion. To some degree it has to adapt to changing societal norms.

Though even the church has to adapt. My mom loves watching mass on her iPad from around the country every Sunday.

Well that statement is sacrilegious!

If they want to shorten the game, then why not just call it a tie? And maybe give everyone can get a participation trophy?

I hate the NL DH and I hate getting rid of the shift but i like the extra inning rules a lot....18 inning marathons with people playing out of position is silly.

people get credit for winning hits when hit it over the head of a pitcher playing outfield or getting a hit off a fielder?

in soccer they got penalty kicks.... ...heck i would be ok with a home run derby in extra innings after the 12th inning or something..
