I don't care what mph the ball was hit or how many feet a home run traveled.

I have always found distance interesting but the current MPH blah seem to show staticians are feeling slighted and need another figure to pop out.

Alright.  I’ll be brave.  After 12 innings, a regular season game should end in a tie.  Draws work just fine in soccer, and with bullpens taxed as much as they are, there has to be an end point to a game.  I’d suggest some gimmick like a home run derby (ala hockey’s shootout) but again, someone’s throwing and someone is swinging, escalating the potential for injury.   ??‍♂️

Why do we need some sort of tiebreaker? Why not just let it be a tie after 12? In terms of the standings it would count as half a win and half a loss.
