Podcast: SUDDEN DEATH and other new baseball rule ideas

Sox Machine Podcast logo

The Frontier League is introducing SUDDEN DEATH extra-inning rules in 2022. Enter the 11th inning (or 9th inning of a 7-inning game); the home team manager will get to pick if his team will play on offense or defense. If the offensive team scores, they win the game. If the defensive team holds, they win the game.

It's a crazy idea, but it intrigues Josh and Jim to see if it would work better in MLB than in Independent Leagues. They also receive new rule ideas from the audience and judge which changes they like best.
