Can a MLB baseball game be called after one team scores so many runs?

Question

Can u help settle an argument?

Answer 1

Major league baseball has no 10-run rule or 15-run rule or anything of the sort. That's a peewee league rule I think.
MLB, and baseball itself, is one game that has no time limit. It goes '9' innings or more until one team scores more runs than their opponent. The only exception being... the umpire may call a tied game depending on the situation.
Example: Before lights were installed a lot of games were called on account of darkness. Also the weather may play a part in his decision, rain, snow, etc.
The MLB record is 26-innings, and that did end in a tie, 1-1.

Answer 2

Absolutely not.

This was only true in the earliest days of the game, when the objective of the game was to score 21 runs. After that, no mercy rule at the top level of the game.

Answer 3

Unless it happened in the early years of baseball i don't think the game stops if one team scores many runs.

Answer 4

Nope, the game is only called if the weather is too bad to continue, but the game is only official after 4 1/2 innings.

Answer 5

no put after 4 1/2 with the home team winning its an official game

Answer 6

No, in fact one game in 1950 was Boston 29 vs St. Louis 4

Answer 7

Not in the majors, no. They will go nine innings no matter what. There is a "mercy rule" in most Little Leagues, at high school level, etc. -- but not in MLB.

Answer 8

MLB does not have a mercy rule.

Answer 9

in little league and other older travel leauges yes but not in mlb.

Answer 10

If there were a mercy rule in any pro sport, than it wouldn't be called 'pro.'
