The 10th inning rule is about 3% as dumb as the NHL “3 point” game.   The fact that some games give out 2 points and some games give out 3 points is not only the dumbest thing in professional sports, it is arguably the dumbest and most idiotic thing in the history of western civilization.

there are many smart people who try to defend this rule... stupidly.  They state the “tradition” and integrity of the standing and comparing records to the past.   Look idiot, when 27 teams out of 31 finish over .500 in your eyes, maybe that .500 means nothing.    Comparing a teams points now versus 20 years ago also means nothing.

that same idiot then complains how games are slow at times in the crunch. Well look dummy why the hell would teams even try to press in a tie game in the 3rf period, when both teams know the best expected point scenario is to get it to overtime. When you have a rule that encourages crappier and less exciting play at the end don’t you think the rule is a problem dummy.

I have no problem with the way they do overtime.    But it needs to be 3 points for a win in regulation, and a 2-1 split if it goes to overtime.
