If you saw the buzz about Twitter today — or maybe you just saw people angrily yelling about not having to “fix” baseball — you probably already know about the bizarre idea floating around to add a “Catch-Up Rule” to the game.
If you haven’t heard of it, it’s as simple as it is... confusing? Interesting? Awful? I’m not sure where I stand on it quite yet.
The long and short of it is, if a game is tied, each team gets three outs. Duh, obviously. Who would possibly want to change that? But if and when a team pulls ahead by at least a run, they are limited to two outs per inning until the lead changes back to the other team.
