Suggestion

Reasons

It would be realistic, teams don't play extra innings in Spring Training; they don't even always play nine innings
Decreases chances for injuries; Spring Training injuries are a real bummer, and sometimes they really hit a team hard
Places less stress on a team overall, as far as player fatigue, managing pitching staff, etc.; the purpose of Spring Training is to prepare a team for the regular season; overworking players has the opposite effect; I realize that in-game there's usually a break between Spring Training and Opening Day, and that takes care of some of these problems; the potential for negative consequences for mishaps in Spring Training is still there though
