    I truly love the game but there are things I'd consider changing....one would be both leagues pitchers would have to bat...it equalizes the world series more...I'd get rid of the intentional walk...I know it's ingrained in the game but I want to see a pitcher take on the challenge of a homerun hitter ...not give him a pass...but I absolutely agree about getting the strike zone right....they fixed it in tennis with a robot...baseball can do the same...I'd also get rid of pinch runners....let the batter run..if he's old, you take that chance..if he's injured, he sits out the game..simple..if he's hit with a pitch or injured getting to base...I'd allow it..I think more managers should let pitchers pitch their way out of a jam...not just keep throwing more relievers into the game before the guy has broken a sweat...I think this would go a long way towards improving the quality of pitching

    Yup, and according to Hernandez, he is correct 95% of the time calling balls and strikes.

    Kudos Riv !!!

    I consider myself a conservative...and as far as Baseball is concerned, I consider myself as a purist.

    Pitchers should bat...abolish the DH rule...never liked it..
