You are correct, I missed it. I am guilty of a pet peeve of not reading everything as written. I missed a few things as everything sort of blended together.

But you know what, basically the same response. Is it worth the couple of extra at-bats and possibly another 5+ runs on the board? How is the other team going to feel about that?

I can appreciate the station-to-station running, but I'm just not a believer in a game being artificially extended.
