But since it was the A's and Angels no one seems to care. If the Red Sox or Yankees had done it the thread would already be 3 pages deep. Anyways I'm not a traditionalist at all and I believe change is good. I've seen this format in the AAA leagues for a few years even in person but seeing it on the MLB stage I have to admit it was a bit...shocking. After years of being used to extra innings being just that- extra baseball, the new man on 2nd rule made the game feel like it had actually gone into overtime where the traditional rules and strategies go out the window. Sure no one did a sac bunt but the game sure felt differently. In the bottom of the 10th the A's loaded the bases and when Chapman hit that grand slam walkoff it was a bit anti-climatic.
