I can’t begin to imagine how much relief pitchers hate the current extra-inning rules. Welcome to the game. Through no fault of your own, there’s a runner on second base with nobody out. If you do your job well and get a ground ball and a flyout, you’ve likely lost the lead. Good luck!
The Situation
Pretty much exactly what I said above. It’s the top of the tenth inning with the score tied at three against the Tampa Bay Rays. Zack Kelly takes the mound for the Red Sox, looking to find a way to keep the runner at second base.
