Julio just tied it up with a HR on a pitch that wasn't even a strike. (High fastball.)
Going to 10th.
White Sox must feel like wins are just IMPOSSIBLE.

Well, White Sox scored in the 10th. I still am not sure at all that I like this "automatic runner" thing.
I assume it is not an earned run for the pitcher if that automatic runner scores? Just as if you had come in with some other pitcher's runner already on base.

Just as if you had come in with some other pitcher's runner already on base. The automatic runner does not count as an earned run. As for the rule itself, I think it's like how the NHL adopted a shootout to decide regular season games. I don't have a problem with it there, as long as it's not in the postseason. And both the shootout and the automatic runner are regular season only.

And both the shootout and the automatic runner are regular season only. I would contend that these aren't really comparable. NHL shootout would be like a 3 point contest or free throw contest for OT in basketball. These are 'acts' of the sport, but nothing really comparable to the playing of the sport. Putting a runner on 2nd base to start the inning - but then playing the game as it would normally be played is far more preferable. I think it is a great rule for baseball - and I would favor installing this for the playoffs. I would say that this type of OT rule/adjustment is much more similar to what the NFL does. Looking closer at what you wrote - I guess you are just comparing this to the NHL in terms of it is only for the regular season and not for the post season.

I'm actually more offended by the automatic runner in baseball. The problem with the NHL was that if you don't have a shootout, then you end up with ties, and that's a lot worse to me than a shootout. I didn't mind extra inning regular season baseball games, though I understand why the rule is there. But absolutely not in the postseason. Playoff games in both sports are incredible to watch, and those gimmicks would cheapen them.

4-1 Tennessee over Texas a&m in game 2 of the college world series. A two run homer by the Vols in the top of the seventh put them ahead and another two run homer in the 8th upped the lead. Game now in bottom 8.
Looks like game 3 will happen on monday night.

Here's kind of a rare feat. Winning a game without officially facing a batter. www.mlb.com/news/sean-newcomb-earns-win-without-facing-batterAthletics reliever Sean Newcomb didn’t face a single batter in Friday night’s 6-5 victory over the Twins at Oakland Coliseum, but that didn’t stop him from earning his first win of the season. Newcomb came on in relief of Lucas Erceg with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning and Oakland trailing, 5-4. After throwing two pitches to Willi Castro, Newcomb promptly picked off Austin Martin to end the inning. In the bottom of the eighth, A’s catcher Shea Langeliers slugged a go-ahead two-run homer, which held up when closer Mason Miller slammed the door in the top of the ninth.

Tennessee forces game 3 of championship series. If they win tomorrow, it be the first time since 1999 that the #1 overall seed wins it all. Tennesee is also the first #1 overall seed to make the championship series since 2009.
