If both leagues are going to use the DH, then I wonder if MLB -- VTHokie2000 06/18/2020 12:43PM
I don't like the DH, but I like consistent rules -- turkeytrot 06/18/2020 11:18AM
The purist in me likes the idea of player having to play both O and D -- `lag 06/18/2020 10:16AM

Iβm ok with it if it speeds up the game. Also want a rule that pitchers -- RoswellGAHokie 06/18/2020 10:06AM
I don't like the leagues having different rules. -- Chris Coleman
06/18/2020 10:03AM
Right there with you. Strategy is great, but it makes no sense diff rules -- turkeywinghokie 06/18/2020 10:17AM
The different rules paved the way for the leagues to play the game -- VTHokie2000 06/18/2020 3:07PM
It really will simplify the game, especially with the new pitching rules -- hoosnowahokie 06/18/2020 10:07AM
Do they even play anymore ? ** -- bigbadbird 06/18/2020 10:01AM
Sigh, in the problems MLB currently has -- Vippie1 06/18/2020 09:49AM
I havenβt been following but this seems like a concession -- VT Pops 06/18/2020 09:57AM
Seems like it would only be a concession if it increases roster size? -- Hokie360 06/18/2020 10:46AM
That's the plan -- roster size to increase by one ** -- Nova Hokie 95 06/18/2020 12:25PM

Lame. ** -- hoosnowahokie 06/18/2020 09:38AM
I've always appreciated the difference. I think it's cool that both options -- BG Hokie 06/18/2020 09:35AM
About time. Having different rules for AL & NL is just stupid. -- YBYSAIAHokie 06/18/2020 09:32AM
What about having different sized playing fields in each city? -- HokieAl 06/18/2020 10:18AM
Think about this. If you took the outfield dimensions of each ML park -- YBYSAIAHokie 06/18/2020 11:05AM

Soccer can do it. Depending on the league. -- Chris Coleman
06/18/2020 10:27AM
Exactly; could you imagine having different rules in AFC and NFC in the NFL -- BleedinOandM 06/18/2020 09:52AM
Concur! Don't care what rules they use, just use the same in both! ** -- EDGEMAN 06/18/2020 09:49AM
^^ This ^^ -- MAHokie69 06/18/2020 09:41AM
Having 14 teams in one league and 16 in the other was just insane. -- YBYSAIAHokie 06/18/2020 09:45AM
It wasn't insane at all until they introduced interleague play -- Nova Hokie 95 06/18/2020 11:34AM
They introduced interleague play before expanding to 30 teams.** -- YBYSAIAHokie 06/18/2020 11:52AM
The reason MLB had 16 teams in the NL is because at the time -- VTHokie2000 06/18/2020 12:52PM
Bad ** -- vtbones 06/18/2020 09:15AM
Now can they stop hitters from stepping out of the box and re-tightening -- Hokie360 06/18/2020 09:03AM
Yes if the ump doesn't give the batter time. Pitchers working quicker will -- RhinoVT 06/18/2020 09:58AM
Yep - umps need to take a lesson from city league softball league umps. -- Hokie360 06/18/2020 10:01AM
No sir... I don't like it. -- Hokie CPA 06/18/2020 09:01AM
When was the last time a pitcher was thrown at in the NL? ** -- Nova Hokie 95 06/18/2020 11:30AM
I don't know. I haven't followed baseball since The Strike. ** -- Hokie CPA 06/18/2020 12:31PM

...How can you run when you know ** -- AlrightGuy 06/18/2020 11:37AM
Seems to me that's EXACTLY the sort of crucial decision that makes a game -- 81_Hokie 06/18/2020 08:53AM
Same rules for both leagues? -- Vippie1 06/18/2020 08:19AM
The DH has never been an issue for me. It is the 21 million pitching -- Alan11 06/18/2020 08:18AM
There are new rules around pitching changes now. -- swordsman1 06/18/2020 08:54AM
That is a promising start. ** -- Alan11 06/18/2020 09:01AM
