I have forgotten, what were the numbers like on average length of extra inning games and average number of extra inning games per season? iirc, 80-85% end by the 12th inning.
I don't care for the new rule either though I am sure I'll get used to it. It just seems that of all the potential things MLB could try to improve, this wasn't an area where improvement was needed. Maybe it's just me but one of the best times to watch baseball is when it is close or tied in the ninth inning. Extra innings provide more of that excitement. Diminishing an exciting part of the game seems like a solution searching for a problem to me.
