A classic. First game 7 in a WS since 2019. Saturday night for all the marbles; sleep when you’re dead. Go Jays!

Why changes need to be made?

WS games going deep into extra innings is very rare and doing so in G7 would be extraordinary. Celebrate it if it happens bc the intensity would be crazy.

I like the ghost runner rule in the season but during the post season no the game should go on

I don't like the ghost runner period but looks like we are stuck with it. I also don't like playing the playoffs with different rules but stuck with that too

And it's "Fall Back" time so we get an extra hours sleep!

I hope it goes extra too.

Go Jays!

Extra innings in game 7 would be great for baseball.

Many of the best games in history went extra innings. High drama is great! In 1916, Babe Ruth pitched a 14-inning, 6-hit 2-1 complete game victory.

Who wants to see game 7 decided by a sac bunt and sac fly?

No way we want Game 7 to end with a sac bunt or sac fly , what fans really want to see is Game 7 bases loaded bottom of the 9th and the Dodger pitcher throwing a wild pitch to end the game . The highlight play of the series ! LMAO :lol:

exactly - I like the ghost during the season too and so do the players, coaches, owners, umpires etc!

Assuming they couldn’t withstand it, what would that look like? Just completely disintegrate and never schedule another game?
