my point is:
the showcase games are timed (1:10 drop dead). That's a really short game to begin with. What's the harm in playing it out?
if the winning team has some class, coach will get his #3 pitcher in there and let some girls play their secondary positions on defense.
and I've never attended a "showcase" where a team was scheduled to play more than three games in a day.
now, if the format is showcase pool games that flow into elimination games later in the weekend, then yeah, keep the mercy rule in effect.
