Reply to "The DH"

The debate on the DH will go on forever, but like it or not it's been around now for thirty-two years in the AL, and I'd bet it's here to stay. In short the game changed a long time ago and it is what it is now.

All this other stuff (courtesy runner, free substitution, EH) is just an extension of 'daddy ball', in my opinion. If the game has slowed so much that a catcher needs to be in the dugout getting ready for the next half inning, and nine guys hitting won't get it done offensively, and a coach can't be astute enough to foresee the possibilities of a future substitution, then maybe baseball at all levels ought to just adopt MLB rules and play the game the way it was meant to be played, DH and all, cause it's HISTORY now.
