Stepping on the beach. Aw yeah!

Stepping on the beach, the only place to read your emails and tweets.

It's Wednesday, April 7th.

This is the No Dunks podcast as part of the Athletic Network.

I'm J.E. Skeets right there.

That's Mr. What You Need to Know, Tassmellis.

Beach Boys, how are you? Hey, doing great. Let's get in the water. We also got my Top Shot Hot Boy, Trey Kirby.

Hey, yo! Hey, yo! The International Man of Mystery, taking it to the Max. Lee Ellis.

You know, it'd be great. McDuckin it. Yeah. I would love to. I'd love to. Got your Braves hat on. Way to go, Braves. Got the first one in the season there.

TK. Oh, Mick ducking it. Yeah. I would love to. I would love to. Got your Braves head on. Way to go, Braves. Got the first win in the season there, TK. Oh, big one for Atlanta. A seven-inning win in the first game of a double header. I see some stream teamers here are also pulling a double header showing up for the morning match and the afternoon match. You got to love it. Let's go, babes. First one of the year. Love it. Tass, did you know that, did you know they only play seven innings? You said before we got here, before we got on the show, you were going to talk baseball. I didn't know it was coming in the first two minutes. Let's talk baseball. The lead off battery. Exactly, Exactly. Tass, did you know that they only play seven innings when they play a double header? That is nuts. I don't know that either. Trey and I were talking about a pre-show here. I said, I think the game's over and Trey's like, no, no, it's in the seventh. And I'm like, yeah, I think they only play seven innings when there's a double header. And sure enough, that's what they do. When did they implement

that? I got no idea. Baseball's always changing the rules. They didn't change the rules for 150

years. Now all they do is changing. Yeah. I've been spitting seeds for years watching double

headers and I don't remember them only playing seven. I know.

I mean, everybody's a little upset about the extra innings rule. Not everyone, but some people don't like the extra innings rule. They're starting to run her on second. Makes everyone's night a little bit earlier, right? Right. A little bit faster, why not? Yeah, I love it. It's like, it's sort of like college football, right? with their like weird overtime scoring where, I don't know, we start on the, what do you start on 25 or something like that? Start on a yard line. Yeah, whatever. You're close. You're really close and you can either score a touchdown or kick a field goal basically, like right away. I'm shocked they went back to the 162. I thought they would find a bit of a middle ground or something after the two-month season last year, but everybody hated the two-month season.

There's something about playing 162 that keeps the game pristine, keeps it real, got to go back to 162.

People hated the two-month season.

They hated it.

Lee, what do you think?

What should we do?

What rule should we change in baseball to get you back into it?
