This year, presuming we have a season, extra-inning games will begin with a runner on second base.
No one really likes this rule, but I understand why it’s used in the minor leagues and why MLB wants to use it this year. With the compressed, short schedule, not wanting to have to delay travel and not wanting players to hang around each other longer than necessary in a pandemic, I get it.
After this year, kill this rule with fire.
At least for big-league games. The reasons it’s used in the minors — presuming we even have minor leagues anymore — I completely understand.
