20 Innings of Baseball?! Too much?!

The New York Mets recently defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1, in a 7 hour marathon of a game. After such a long matchup in a sport that many consider to be boring, does baseball need to speed up the game?

@LeTsGoGiAnTs123 It was funny because they won, if they would have lost it would have been a travesty!

I love baseball.. I dont care how long the game takes. Love watching it.

Cricket lasts days

[jazzx251]

Soccer = 90 minutes + 30 minutes extra time + penalties (5 each then sudden death)

I think it should be for Baseball - 9 innings + 3 innings extra + penalty pitches (5 each)

A "penalty pitch" is when the pitcher MUST throw over the plate.

So, if the batter leaves it and it's outside the plate, the batter scores for his team. But the batter also scores just by hitting the ball.

i love watching long games with no school next day. and too bad that game was a day game if it began at 9 ir 8 or 10 it would end at 6 in the morning

baseball is great but if extra innings go beyond 10 innings then it is not good at all

Baseballs a joke.

Technically a basketball game could last that long since they can't tie but it is highly unlikely. Also football can last 4hrs + even if it is a regular season game. If it is a playoff game I think I've heard of one going half way through a 2nd ot.
