Kind dumb (for me) to kvetch about it in every IGT. so I will kvetch here.

What's next, the managers go out and play Simon Says with the next three

guys up and the first one that flinches loses? I know, holographic images on

the field of Chuck Baris and select celebrity guests looking to BONG a loser.



You put your first guy on

He gets taken out

They put their first guy on

And of course he makes an out

Do the Hokey Pokey maybe turn it all around

Sad that it's all about

One of the revolting developments that are driving my interest in MLB away.

I understand the use of it during the Covid season with the travel restrictions and desire not to have extra-long games mixed in. (I didn't LIKE it, but I understood it).

My fear is that the longer it takes to go away -- as it was renewed for the second Covid season and then again this year due to the (slightly) condensed sked -- the less likely it becomes that it actually Will go away. Manfred swears it's out after this year. The DH was also a temporary experiment that supposedly needed periodic re-votes to keep it going. And then it didn't. So like a government program that has long out-lived its original mandate and its usefulness, I fear these rules become permanent by simple momentum.
