Syd Thrift's post here got me wondering, which would most people prefer, the ghostrunner on 2nd (which is no longer on a trial basis) or 12-inning ties?
I hated the ghostrunner idea the first time I even heard of it. It's just so wrong. It's almost as bad as a home run derby, which was also thrown out there as an option. I understand various stakeholders want to shorten games and I'm okay with that, but I'd just much rather see ties after 12. Only about 1.5% of games go past 12 innings anyway so it wouldn't change the game nearly as much as the ghostrunner idea does. I'm still dumbfounded as to why they chose to go with such an abominable option in the first place. I think they just must have wanted to not only shorten those extra long games, but all extra-inning games.
We had a previous poll on when would you like to see ties, but I don't think we've actually had a poll comparing ties to the ghostrunners.
