It’s only a better game if all you care about is offense. There’s so much more to baseball, though. The strategy of NL ball is entertaining. The Giants and Dodgers can put up 10+ runs in a game, just like the Blue Jays can. But you’ll never see something like this in the AL:

Managing in the AL might be the easiest job in sports. All you really have to do is figure out who is pitching in the 6th, 7th, and 8th. You don’t even need to be awake beyond those two or three innings.

And what makes someone amateur? Because they can’t hit? What about DHs who can’t field? Do “amateurs” like that belong in the HOF? As long as we’re protecting pitchers, should they even field? Let’s have a designated fielder on the mound.

Why not have designated hitters or fielders for every position? No need to bring in a defensive replacement at shortstop in the 8th. Let him play the whole game, with Matt Stairs, Jr. taking his at-bats.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, Redbird Twitter is still arguing over Mike Shildt double-switching Dylan Carlson’s spot in the order every other game and I want to see what I missed.
