PITTSBURGH — The news here isn't that the so-called "ghost runner" rule will return to Major League Baseball this season. It's that so many people barely blink an eye at the thought of it.
We are talking about fake baserunners to start extra innings, are we not? Fake baserunners that just hit an imaginary double and magically appeared on second base at the precise time managers should be digging deep into their bench and bullpen looking for ways to salvage a win, yes?
What are we doing here?
