But because this is 2021, they take a great pitchers duel like that, and in the 10th inning, turn it into a high school softball game ... putting the baserunner on second base and completely changing the strategy of the previous nine innings.

(And no, I'm not just saying this because the White Sox lost in 10. It's a stupid rule change ... even worse than the "doubleheader games are now seven innings" rule)

 

They’ve been killing aces by worrying about pitch counts and automatically taking people out.
