    I like the rule. The majors should do it.

    absolutely not, but I don't see a problem with the rule in the WBC.

    Bo doesn't like this rule. If this rule had been in MLB when Bo played, Bo never would have lost a game in extra innings. Bo would start on 2nd, steal third on the first pitch. Then Bo would steal home on the 2nd pitch. Even if the catcher thought he would get Bo, Bo would pick up the catcher and body slam him until the ball came loose, letting Bo score the winning run.

    Just wondering why you don't agree? Would you be ok with only a guy on first starting the 13th inning?

    no, but you have to understand that I was a pitcher. I think for the WBC it's fine because it isn't in the middle of a 162 game season where one game could mean playoffs or not. You have to earn your way on base.

    Do those runners count as earned runs if they score?

    Ricky henderson would have been better. How can you not like a guy that doesn't cash a 1 million dollar bonus check, so he can frame it?

    Bo likes Ricky, but Ricky wasn't strong enough to body slam a catcher. He was all finesse. But Bo....Bo breaks things.
