I've been really excited about the reds all season but last night that excitement was taken to a new level. I really am starting to get the feeling this team is going to go far.
You tryin to be a hero fool? You wanna see badass mother fucker?! I'll show ya a badass!!!
Why wouldnt you want the best 9 hitters in the lineup if you could have it? That makes absolutely no sense not to. Especially considering you sometimes have to take really good pitchers off the mound, not because they are not pitching well, but because the rules in the NL are outdated. If you want strategy, watch chess. Leave the big boy games up to the athletes.

Sports becomes meaningless without strategy, and the AL rules greatly reduces the strategy involved in the game.
You want strategy in there too, because the most athletic teams will win, and then by extension, the richest teams will win. It makes the game pointless.
There is still strategy doe. How to handle the pitching staff in the late innings, when to sacrifice bunt, steal, hit and run, defensive alignments, pitchouts etc. The only thing the AL does is take the bat out of a shitty hitters hands and puts it in a capable hitters, and keeps the starting pitcher in there longer in most cases.

I disagree with this...baseball has turned into a matchups game....and now a days you constantly see pitchers being changed for better match ups...rather then because they don't hit
anyone who doesn't see that if the manager chooses so there is nearly as much strategy in the AL should watch jim leylend...while i don't agree with all the moves he makes the guy is very strategic
If Dusty Baker manages to have a winning team in the NL anyone can do it. How much strategy can there be. L-)
You think that's funny now but take a look and the injuries we have had this year and the lineup changes he has made to bring us to the best team in baseball. What's your teams record? I'll wait...
