I greatly prefer ties after 12 innings over this stupid runner on 2nd rule. Worst rule ever. I hate it.
And the reason why I like ties after 12 innings is I think that the longer you go the longer a crapshoot it is as to who will win. I figure a scrappy smallball team with a good bullpen has maybe the best chance at winning in extras, but even for them the longer you go the more you've subbed out your best players and the more tired your others are so the less likely they'll come through. Not to mention that you may be sacrificing your next day's performance for the chance at winning a game that you probably have at best only a 50% chance of winning regardless of your normal winning %. And, you might even be increasing the chance at injuring your players! You'd be better off drafting teams from the fans left in attendance.
No, while seeing how long games could go might have been kind of neat, I'm just not down with 13+ inning games anymore. Bring on the tie and let's move on to tomorrow.
