Game has gone to hell. I won’t watch it. The DH and too many players on the roster lead to relief pitchers pitching to one batter. Has gotten ridiculous. Games take too long.
Extra innings and pitchers batting were among the more interesting parts of the game.

I’m not wedded to the DH but pitchers batting really sucked most of the time. There’s no way in hell baseball should ever tolerate a situation where one spot in the lineup is taken by a position whose average hitter hits about .115 or so.
Having said that, I’d suggest that there were a few better ways to improve the game than to introduce a designated hitter who can’t even play the field to save his life.

I'm not for a runner starting at 2nd base in extra innings. Thankfully that got killed.
