how does a pitcher lose this game

[nosterbor]

the pitcher gives up no hits-no walks there were no errors. and he still lost the game. you tell me MR FING MANFRED!

What are you talking about

 

[nosterbor]

I will give you the answer. Rays pitcher comes in for the top of the 10th inning gets 3 up 3 down no hits no walks no errors no hit by batter and loses the game. You start the 10th inning with a runner on 2nd. 1st batter flys out runner tags and goes to 3rd 1 out. Next batter flys out runner at 3rd tags and scores 2 outs. 3rd batter flys out. end of the inning Rays go 3 up and 3 down in bottom of 10th Rays lose 3 -2. Can you imagine the 7th game of the World Series ending like that? Well can you rob manfred. now do you get what t I am talking about?

I see

The rule wasn't in place during the 2020 postseason and, though I can't see anything expressly saying as much, I doubt it will be in place for the 2022 postseason either.

With that said, I'm also not a fan of the rule: too many fond memories of growing up watching AAA baseball games that kept stretching on inning after inning, and wondering when they might end. But maybe that's just a "back in my day it was better" reaction.

Pitcher comes in with runner on first bottom of the ninth. Runner steals second, third and home.

 

[banjar]

Wouldn't that run be charged to the previous pitcher? That was his baserunner.

 

[nosterbor]

yes it would. I am talking extra innings. Beeks started the 10th inning with the Rob Manfred runner on 2nd.

Literally the stupidest rule in all of sports.

I hate the rule...it's stupid to play by different rules in extra innings after playing a full 9 innings without a Manfred runner. They want to shorten games? Try calling a strike every time the batter steps out of the box after just watching a pitch.
