Anything that lets 9 hitters hit instead of 8 hitters hit and 1 pitcher flail...i"m all for.

at best, the NL is about giving up outs to advance runners which is now being shown to be dumb baseball.

I just think it takes a lot of the strategy out of the game. -- nm - pmb Jan 21, 12:04 7

  - It takes out the hard choice of pinch-hitting for a pitcher who is pitching well in a tight game. It changes hitting and base-stealling decisions. - pmb Jan 21, 12:18 3
    - I disagree. - groiny Jan 21, 12:20 2
      - here's a thought, why not train pitchers to be better hitters? -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 12:24 1

- It does but the instant Rufus blew out his achilles running to first, I figured this was inevitable. -- nm - David Jan 21, 12:05 1
  - Yup. That was the nail in the coffin. -- nm - spamlet Jan 21, 12:08
Nine men take the field and those nine men get to hit. If you don't pick up a glove you shouldn't get to pick up a bat. -- nm - Krusty Jan 21, 12:03 1
- can't we just let the white people bat? -- nm - groiny Jan 21, 12:17
