Learning they can just decide to *end* an MLB game early if it rains, and whatever the score is it's final. Incredible

162 games per season sound crazy too.

Only if they've played 5 full innings, though. 🤓

An MLB game becomes official and can be called due to weather as long as it goes 5 full innings.

Yes it has to hit 5 innings, it still seems insane lol. At that point why not just make every game 5 innings if that's all that truly matters.

Oh, very little of regular season MLB actually matters.

The fact they got 32 innings done in 8 hours is impressive

If it were 5 innings they’d make 3 complete innings official if it rained lol.

the infinity rules blow my mind too: there is no official size limit to the outfield. a game, if tied at the bottom of the inning, CAN go until one team exceeds runs over the other, ostensibly forever

If it's only 5 innings, will concessions cost 44% more?
