NO! NO! NO!

This messes with the fundamental structure of the game.

The argument is that nobody wants to watch 18-inning games. But no baseball fan I know objects to doing it.

I agree, no, no, no. Problem is I can see the MLBPA being all for this.

Really there should be no winners or losers either. Aren’t we all winners, really. All baseball players should get a game ball and a snack bar ticket at the end of every game.

LEAVE THE GAME ALONE before you ruin it. If you want to screw up a game, screw up football.

I’m pretty sure there are problems in the world less important than this one, I just can’t think of any right now. They’re just going to over regulate all sports like they did NASCAR. Who ever heard of time outs in motor racing.

Okay. So should the NBA, College basketball, PeeWee basketball, boxing, soccer, football, badminton, boxing, and husband and wife arguments.

No ties in baseball. I would prefer expanding the roster to 26-28 players, or allowing it conditionally, like when postponements force double headers.

Better than allowing ties, but still not desirable; postponing a game after x innings, and finishing it on another day when the two teams play in the same ballpark.

Better yet, leave things alone. Part of the problem is teams want to have pitching specialists: pitchers who will only be used in the 7th, 8th or 9th inning.

Ties suck. I vote for no ties in baseball.

There are ties in regular season MLB games.

In the All Star Game, there should be ties after nine innings.

In exhibition games, when appropriate.

In regular and post season games, no.

No! No! No! No! No!

No ties!

No interleague games during the regular season!

No games after Halloween!
