Four MLB teams will allow fans to buy beer in the eighth inning after new rules have shortened games by about a half-hour. But one pitcher doesn't think this is a good idea.
— an issue that plagued baseball for years. It's impossible to know the exact amount of money lost with shorter games, but Strahm believes money is at the heart of this elongated beer-selling idea.
"I'm not surprised," Strahm added."When you mess with billionaires' dollars, [they] find a way to make their dollars back. My thing is, when you're looking at the safety of your fans, that's probably not the smartest decision to extend it into the eighth. "... But just using common sense: We stopped it in the seventh for the safety of fans and people getting home. Like, it just it makes no sense to me that you're going to allow it to the eighth inning."
