Extra innings is a (bleep) shoot
Like 3 on 3 in the NHL
Cardinals played 17 extra inning games last season
12 each in 2022 and 2023
And 9 in 2021
I'm not worried about how they played with the manfred runner on 2nd. That doesn't happen in the playoffs.

Re: Extra innings is a (bleep) shoot
Yeah I can't stand that extra innings man on 2nd automatically (bleep). Exactly what I thought would happen during yesterday's game happened.
So annoying. All it takes is a freaking single for the away team to win, and anything extra just puts the game even further out of reach. Yeah the home team gets the same shot, but that's when their bats will go ice cold of course.

What if the runner would be on 1st. Then you'd still have an opportunity to score but also could end up with a ground ball double play.

How about you wait till the 11th inning to do ghost runner?imadangman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 06:20 am What if the runner would be on 1st. Then you'd still have an opportunity to score but also could end up with a ground ball double play.

Wow an idea with equal outcome. Both offense and defense have a say in ur scenario. Great idea.imadangman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 06:20 am What if the runner would be on 1st. Then you'd still have an opportunity to score but also could end up with a ground ball double play.

I'd prefer they not do it at all, but I get it...but don't like it.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 07:48 amIf they continue to use it, ur idea is a good one.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 07:45 amHow about you wait till the 11th inning to do ghost runner?imadangman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 06:20 am What if the runner would be on 1st.

Re: Extra innings is a (bleep) shoot
I mentioned before about starting in the 12th. Then put the ghost runner on 1st.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 07:45 amHow about you wait till the 11th inning to do ghost runner?imadangman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 06:20 am What if the runner would be on 1st.

Maybe just have a HR derby after one extra inning.The Nard wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 07:51 amI mentioned before about starting in the 12th.

Re: Extra innings is a (bleep) shoot
I hear ya. Your idea carries merit. For all intents and purposes and purposes, by the 11th the game is over, simply ly waiting on a final score.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 07:50 amI'd prefer they not do it at all, but I get it...but don't like it.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 07:48 amIf they continue to use it, ur idea is a good one.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 07:45 amHow about you wait till the 11th inning to do ghost runner?imadangman wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 06:20 am What if the runner would be on 1st.

Or on the Xtreme side- no runner in tenth- runner on first in 11th, runner on second in the 12th, runner on third in the 13th.

Re: Extra innings is a (bleep) shoot
Yeah and for the HR derby portion you can activate one legacy player. Mark McGwire or Albert Pujols.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 07:53 amMaybe just have a HR derby after one extra inning.The Nard wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 07:51 amI mentioned before about starting in the 12th.

Re: Extra innings is a (bleep) shoot
Yes, extra innings can be a (bleep) shoot. But, you still have to manage to win the game. Home team bunting w/ supposedly their best damage hitter batting in the 2 hole and then letting your 0fer SS bat against a tough RHP with the game on the line when you have a LH bat in the dugout who appeared very dialed in the previous day is not losing a (bleep) shoot. It is getting out managed.

I’d rather end in a tie than this nonsense. Same for 3 on 3vegascardsfan5890 wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 00:51 am Like 3 on 3 in the NHL

Re: Extra innings is a (bleep) shoot
Sure would have been nice to have Helsley in the 10th when you badly need a strikeout.
Re: Extra innings is a (bleep) shoot
How about playing extra innings like they had for 100 years?
