Baseball needs a mercy rule

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Houston 23, Baltimore 2, bottom of the eighth. The Astros led 8-1 after two. Yordan Alvarez had three home runs and seven RBI, including a two-run bomb in the top of the ninth with his team up 21-2.

Ha, 'member when we lost 3 of 4 to Baltimore? That was pretty cool.

I actually kind of agree with this.  I would be fine with wrapping up a game after the 7th inning if one team is down by 10 runs or something.  I mean at that point teams aren’t even trying anymore.  Most of the fans have left.  It’s a waste of everyone’s time.

Baseball doesn't need a mercy rule.  The Orioles need TALENT.

Everything's coming together for the Astros. On their way to another World Series, hopefully with the Dodgers. Greinke was the final ingredient.

Three losses in a row in the Series? No team has done that since the 1913 NY Giants.

How many teams have been in the WS three times consecutively? Just getting to the WS is a huge Win.

Not if you lose it 3 times in a row.

Yordan Alvarez is the dodgers Mike Clevinger.

Well they sure had enough talent to beat the Angels 3 games to 1

I remember when we beat the White Sox 19-0 and the Indians 21-2 in 2002.  What a great year it was.

The real problem is keeping score.  Do away with that, and the Angels are primed to make a move.
