And don't get me going on this stupid extra bases rule. It ain't baseball.

I assume you mean the extra innings rule. Yes, that is objectively stupid. It’s a dumb rule and Rob Manfred hates baseball which is why it’s happening.

But, I will die on the hill that I don’t want to watch Bartolo Colon attempt to hit a baseball on the off chance he might accidentally hit a home run like he did that one time.

Nothing better than getting a 2 out rally going, then hitting the 9 spot so it’s automatically over. I’ll never understand the appeal of an automatic out in your lineup.

I know…Ohtani. Because the best hitting pitcher since Babe Ruth is reason for the league he doesn’t even play in to keep the pitcher in the lineup. 😂

The aura surrounding the difference in leagues died with inter-league play.

Doesn’t matter. The NL DH is a thing now. Thank God.

I will save MLB when I become commissioner. Inter league play is an abomination.

I’m sorry, but watching a pitcher bat is just so awful. It’s honestly disrespectful to the art of hitting a baseball. DH 4 Evaaaaaaa.

It is disrespectful to baseball to have a DH. By the way, Ruth was a pretty good hitter and would have been the best pitcher in the majors if he had continued to pitch.

Basketball needs a designated free throw shooter.

The DH is why pitchers can no longer hit.

😂 If pitchers could hit, the DH would never have been conceived.

I’m not totally opposed to the designated FT shooter idea. What basketball should do is eliminate the fouling out rule. Especially since basketball officiating is so arbitrary. One bad call can mean a star player has to sit an extended period of time due to the fear of fouling out. In no other sport is s player disqualified from the game for too many common fouls. It’s nonsensical.

Can we not use Babe Ruth or Shohei Ohtani as evidence of why the DH is bad? Like come on….
