Cubs Suck23 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Our pitchers never have to bat anymore until the world series... I hate the NL rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yeah, I heard that on the radio last night after the game. Pretty cool I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubs Suck23 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 their is nothing worse than seeing most pitchers take 3 pitches than grab some bench... I think NL rules is the most over rated thing in baseball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvxplorer Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I agree, but the pitchers did okay at the plate. I wouldn't trade Politte's RBI single for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubs Suck23 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 (edited) Totally agree Cliff hit was one of the highlights of the season but I would rather see Frank or Carl batting 4 times a game... The AL teams are at a disadvantage when they play at a NL ballpark... Edited June 13, 2005 by Cubs Suck23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSox30 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The NL rule where the pitcher must bat is terrible and ruins the game. MLB should want the team to have all nine of their batters be true hitters and not up there to strike out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That funky motion Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 They didnt look that lost up there. They even put some wood on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 There are more and more pitchers that can hit well. Maddux in his prime, Hampton, D-Train, Smoltz, Wood. Pitchers are starting to hit about the Mendoza line. I say, leave it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvxplorer Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 (edited) On the subject, for those old enough to remember... Back in the early seventies, RP Terry Forster used to pinch hit in certain occasions. He succeeded in many of those ABs. 1972: 10 for 19, .526 with only two strikeouts. Forster is a career .397 hitter in 78 ABs. Not bad for a flame throwing reliever. Edited June 13, 2005 by nvxplorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I feel the DH rule should either be IN both or Out of both.. not one or the other...thats just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
