There is no mercy rule in baseball. Did the Twins agree to stop swinging the bat the next half inning? If not, keep trying to score! That's why they call them "insurance runs." I don't even really get who is insulted by this. Is the position player concerned about keeping his ERA low?

There have been plenty of crazy comebacks before. Not saying it's likely, but if the Twins are still gonna try to score runs, you should too.
