They usually do. i didn’t watch tonight. i’m assuming the camera at this park wasn’t lined up where it normally is in MLB parks or they otherwise didn’t have the right technology to be able to it tonight

They should’ve extended it to mimicking an actual LL game. 6 inning exhibition, make it even more inclusive for the little leaguers. Let them be the batboys and get foul balls, let them shag BP, etc. Playing a rigged game that actually counts and also messes with the travel schedule is beyond stupid.
August 19, 20241 yr Well when you put it that way…I sure am glad the Astros got to play their rigged games in Mexico City against the Rockies!

Oh I see, if 6 innings the yankees would have won. Teams rotate. Teams play shit like this. Sorry it was your team that lost tonight, but suck it up. Think teams like opening up in Japan? And let the kids just relax and watch the game. Everyone enjoyed it but you. Edited August 19, 20241 yr by InkaUtexas

August 20, 20241 yr Cubs DFA Hector Neris, because he was getting close to contract incentives that would have guaranteed him $9M next season.

August 22, 20241 yr Ohtani is one homer and one steal away from a completely illegitimate 40/40 season. He’d have about 20 steals if the old rules were still in place.
