I hope Joel was drunk when he came up with that, because it's just awful.
I like baseball. Leave it the fuck alone.
Edit: I would at least be willing to see a designated runner tried out on an all-star game or spring training. Maybe make it a 9th inning and extras. Each team gets 1,and that...
I dont even buy this. If it was from an MLB guy like Rosenthal I might believe it. But Rich Eisen?
And how would this work? Can you bat a guy that already was taken out? do they swap with 3 players in the lineup, sorta like in a double switch?
