The new rule is certainly not a great rule. let the deep pocket owners have to carry a couple of extra players on the regular MLB roster for those extra-inning games, they have the coin…..
Are extra innings now sudden death? First run in wins? It really doesn’t change that much as both teams should be able to get a runner on second base across the plate.
They should just play baseball as is – some of these games go as long as not placing a runner – next they will start the runner on third after a couple extra innings instead of second
During the regular season in Japan if the game is still tied after 12 innings, it goes down as a tie game. The limit in the playoffs is 15, but I could be incorrect on that one.

… and the infielders can carry BATS, so they can defend themselves if the zombie runners come towards them!

It’s such an abomination. Didn’t like it, bit I understood it during the pandemic. No reason for it now, with teams carrying so many pitchers.

even t hings out.The “ghost runner” must be the slowest runner on the team.
And Kyrie Irving well in the lead for Sports jerk of 2022.

BASEBALL STORY—
Late 1920’s.One of the meanest pitchers in baseball history was spitballer Burleigh Grimes,who always pitched with a2-day beard growth.
He knocked down Hall of Famer Frankie Frisch three times in a row.
Frisch yells—“Okay,you(CENSORED),what are you going to do now?”
The next pitch almost split Frisch’s skull down the middle.

I’d go with “Spirit Runner.” Sounds rather Native American.

Does the losing team get credit for half a win?
