Just well-documented proof that the rule is arbitrary. "Baseball" decided to enhance the scoring chances and made this rule to protect the offense. Fine, if you think it is a good rule because you like higher scoring games, but stop the silliness of saying it is not an arbitrary rule. I can name many, many scenarios similar to this where such a rule does not apply, so why not? Hmmm, why not?Quote:
