Know what's better then knee high socks?

Stirrups.

See, now we're all starting to agree.

Wrong. I guarantee Trump is pro DH and so are his supporters. Did you watch the Cubs/Giants series? The Cubs' pitchers were twice as productive at the plate then all of their position players. Giants pitchers also drove in some runs.

Trump is hedging his bets and grabbing the rule book by the vagina. But I do understand NL fans trying to point out random and rare exceptions to the rule about pitcher's at bat, when it doesn't represent 85% of reality.

Worst reductivism I've read on the internet.

Mine was tongue in check. Your post was actually reductive and based on random anecdotal evidence.

In conclusion, go DH.

Who else is notable that wears stirrups? Is Chris Archer the only one?

Stirrups.

The example of knee high socks that was posted are actually stirrups.

If all people care about is getting the best hitters to the plate why not have the same 3 guys bat every inning. Imagine getting to see a great hitter like Bonds in his prime bat 9 times a game instead of 3. Just have 9 infielders on each team and a few hitters who you just cycle through, hell we could even have a bunch of little speedy guys who just run the basses for the hitters. They could just stand next to the batters box and take off whenever a ball is put in play.

it's not about having only good hitters bat, it's about having only real hitters bat.

So the Cleveland game 2 starter Trevor Bauer cut his hand repairing his toy helicopte-- I mean drone. So he'll now switch starts with the game 3 starter.

Josh Tomlin will be designated pitching.

 

[timetokill]

Bumgarner and Kershaw just did some pretty decent hitting in this series. Hell, Kershaw's double was hit in later by Turner. That's clutch play.

Having to decide whether to keep your starter in or take a gamble on a pinch hitter is a good thing. Otherwise, why not designated runners? Maybe it's "not fun" to watch guys like Pujols and Billy Butler hobble around the bases.

 

[gamz]

Start the game already so we can get past this nonsense you guys have been yapping about all damn day.

 

[yankeehater]

No one wants to watch bad base runners like Cecil fielder run. We need designated runners.

 

[The Beard]

Yeah, we can have the designated runners stand behind the umpire, and start running to first on contact, while the slow batter remains in the batters box. Who wanted to see Big Papi run ffs?

Gotta wait until 8 PM, ace.

Patriotism through sport is the only patriotism most people can agree on.


30-minutes until the game starts and I really wish it would start right now.

9 Players on defense

9 DH's on offense.

If it's tied after the 4th inning, each team loses 2 defensive players.

Questioning the loyalty of Cleveland's sports fans. That's rich.

Just what I wanna see. Get to Kluber early.

And Prohibited, stop it with this questioning loyalty bullshit. Seriously, that's all you've done.

They certainly didn't show up at all this season. Barely outdrew Oakland for 28th in the league. I guess they're too busy watching the Browns.
