Which of the new rules do we like/think will stick or roll down to NCAA/youth baseball?
1) Universal designated hitter

2) Runner on second to begin extra innings

I'll give #1 a thumbs down, and #2 a thumbs up.

1) DH.. Never liked it, never will. I seemed to always follow National League ball and like the strategy (double switches, pitchers needing to bunt, etc)

2) Adds some excitement, and effort to rid the long inning. Got to watch it in action Milb.A number of games where RipkenFanSon would tell us "he wasn't scheduled to play" (his games were West Coast which was a 9:30 PM EST start. We knew that wasn't always true as he would often then be that "runner on second" if the game went extras.
