Don't Bother


According to wire stories I read today, owners and players are negotiating to give us “baseball” instead of baseball.  And I’m not talking about the DH in the National League.

 

Both sides have agreed to start extra-inning games with a runner on second base.  Apparently, players also want a rule change to allow player re-entry, and at least one side has proposed that games can end in a tie.  What is this, travel ball with 14-player rosters?

 

I wonder when fans were supposed to find out.  Would Commissioner Rob Manfred and Players’ Association President Tony appear together to announce the changes or flip a coin to see who gets the honor?  Both sides can’t agree on a season of baseball in trying times, so they want to give us “baseball” in its place.

 

That’s OK, don’t bother.
