“There’s not a clock on it, but when fans know this is it — top of 10th, that’s going to be it.”
PHOENIX — The ghost runner is back for 2022. And even if it accomplishes its goal, it stinks.
Pick offense, and it’s simple: You win if you bring the runner in. But if you can’t score the runner, then the team in the field wins the game, even without scoring a run or coming up to bat. Sudden Death Baseball? The maximum number of hitters is FIVE. If two runners reach base and the defense gets two outs … suddenly, it’s bases loaded, two outs and the guy at the plate is making the winning play or the final out. You think fans that otherwise would filter out in the 10th, 11th or 12th won’t get fired up, knowing the game is going to end that quickly — one way or the other?
As a member of the media, let me speak for all of my fellow writers, radio hosts and television commentators to say we will absolutely sign up for the chance to second guess each and every single one of these decisions, whenever they happen.
