Maybe I don't know the whole story. I don't think I would ever be ok with this for MLB, but it does make sense to me for MiLB. I see mostly A-level games. Most of the fans have left by the 9th inning. The players are there mostly for development, right? Playing a 13 inning game and getting your pitching schedule all out of wrack doesn't make sense to me in that environment.HSB101, good point about stats.Some of that will be screwy. When that guy on 2nd scores, how does he get a Run with no PA?The same way a pinch runner does.
I didn't actually mean the runner's personal stats, I meant the runner in general. There's no accounting for how a runner reached base (using traditional scorekeeping). How will you prove your score without some accounting of him? I know they use this method in International play, so I assume someone has made up some new categories for it.
It also impacts the value of a run now that I think about it.
