Mercy rule: Toronto 28 - Boston 5. End such debacles before they reach that point.

How about a table with leads by inning? MLB needs a mercy/kill/slaughter rule. Pick a name but make a rule.

Let teams concede when they are way behind. Wednesday, July 13, 2022

There were two Yankee games recently in which the Yanks were so far ahead that the opposing teams, Pittsburgh and Boston, put a non pitcher on the mound to finish the debacle. Some Yankee hitters got meaningless hits and the games became farce.

Nothing good came of it. So why not end such a game when the losing team has effectively conceded but does not have an accepted protocol to do so?
