Could MLB withstand a Game 7 going to wee hours to determine WS Champion ?
Would another marathon game be considered  :   A. a classic  ?  OR  B.  this is utterly ridiculous  ..  and changes must be made ?

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 onjuan good eye wrote: ↑31 Oct 2025 22:56 pm Why changes need to be made?

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 tooOzziesfan41 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2025 23:03 pmI like the ghost runner rule in the season but during the post season no the game should go onjuan good eye wrote: ↑31 Oct 2025 22:56 pm Why changes need to be made?

Let’s stop acting like long extra inning WS games happen all the time.

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 ! LMAOcardstatman wrote: ↑01 Nov 2025 09:24 am Extra innings in game 7 would be great for baseball.

exactly - I like the ghost during the season too and so do the players, coaches, owners, umpires etc!Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑31 Oct 2025 23:03 pmI like the ghost runner rule in the season but during the post season no the game should go onjuan good eye wrote: ↑31 Oct 2025 22:56 pm Why changes need to be made?

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