Let me preface all this by saying that I don’t think even Rob Manfred will want to mess up the beauty of extra-inning baseball by instituting the system that’s now in place in the minor leagues for extra-inning games (starting every inning with a runner on second base).
But if he has even the most fleeting thought about doing so, Game 3 of the 2018 World Series ought to disabuse him of that notion.
And yes, I stayed up to watch every inning, every one of the seven hours and 20 minutes of it, until Max Muncy sent a walkoff homer into the left-field seats at Dodger Stadium at 12:30 a.
