And the game is interesting when an automatic out comes to the plate! Come on now, the game is between pitchers and hitters, not pitchers and pitchers.
You don't like the chess match of managerial wits of double switches, etc. late in the game?
Furthermore, there are Guys like Grienke who have a lifetime ba of .217. And guess what,,,,,that was higher than some starters on my Astros team last year.
This is an element of the game that shouldn't have ever been tinkered with. At least that's the opinion of hard core fans like myself
