I'm still so upset with the sissified "Designated Hitter" concept, that I will not root for an American League team in the World's Series, no matter what.
So I was really pleased to see that silly rule bite KC in the ass.
Bochy didn't have to hurt his brain figuring out if he had to pull Bumgarner for a pinch hitter.
"Pitch on, Dude!"
RE DH:
Yeah, the DH has been around for a long time. I don’t see it changing anytime soon. But it really doesn’t bother me overall... to me, it’s just another part of American Baseball.
Something to argue about, all friendly-like, over a cold beer and hotdog with your buds in the yard, during a barbecue, on a nice warm summer day... or in late October, even when you don’t “have a dog in the fight” so to speak...
And think of this... this SAME conversation probably went on between our grandfathers...
Our American game. Nothin’ else like it in the world.
