00:00The first reaction would be, like, you can't really do that in a regular season game.

00:03Or could you?

00:04Right.

00:05Is this a better way to decide an extra inning game?

00:08I think I like it better than the guy on second base.

00:10Yeah.

00:11Like, Ghostrunner on second, which I guess is better.

00:14Like, it helps prevent the 12, 15 inning game that every once in a while you would get.

00:21And so I like guy at second base better than nothing.

00:24Right.

00:25But I don't know.

00:25Maybe regular season, maybe you don't do this in the playoffs, right?

00:28Because even playoffs, they don't do guy on second base.

00:30Right, because it's the same with hockey.

00:30Game 7 of the World Series.

00:32Game 7 of the World Series.

00:33Like, who wants to see me suck the thingers?

00:35Let's go.

00:36Like, I do.

00:37So, yeah, I don't know.

00:38Maybe they could.

00:38I think it's just so much more entertaining.

00:40And the sport needs it more than anything.

00:41Yeah.

00:42But it's much more entertaining than starting the inning with a guy on second base.

00:46I think so.

00:46I don't see why not.

00:48Plus, I like the idea of, like, guys sitting on the bench.

00:50Like, the managers come out.

00:51I like the idea of, like, the managers coming out to the umpire and then literally picking, like, at schoolyard.

00:55Like, who are our guys?

00:56And nobody has any idea.

00:57You know what I mean?

00:58You have no idea if you're going to get picked.

00:59You're like, hmm, we're going to go with this guy.

01:01But it'll turn into something where the nerds will butcher it, where it's like, statistics, eh?

01:04If you bet this guy at this time, this is going to happen.

01:06Well, yeah, this would break.

01:07Wait until the nerds get their hands on this.

01:08It's going to be horrible.

01:09I think it would break their brains at first.

01:10Because they'd be like, this is not in our algorithm.

01:12Like, this is not part of the game.

01:14And then it's like, well, no, it's got to be part of the game now.

01:16And then they have to figure it out.

01:17And you could have Walker Bueller pitch.

01:19You could have him be the guy that pitches to the Red Sox.
