So, MLB and the MLBPA decided to keep the "ghost runner" aka the "Manfred Man" for the 2022 season. I personally think this is a dumb rule and one of the worst rules in professional sports. It would make more sense if they did what they do in Japan and have the game end in a tie after 12 innings. Why not do this during the regular season only and not the postseason? Thoughts?

Dumbest of the Dumbfred changes. And that's saying something. Ghost Runner sounds like a horror movie...and maybe that's appropriate, since, like Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers, it just won't stay dead no matter how many times people try to kill it.
