AL ball vs. NL Ball Which do you favor and why?
I'm sure it's no shock that I'm an NL baseball fan and yes I've been a Reds fan my whole life.
I came up with the idea for this thread after debating who should be the AL MVP with Sloopy45 and others. (Very good debate by the way.)
The reason I'm a fan of NL ball is that there is much more strategy needed to manage and play in a NL game. With the pitcher batting, that changes the entire dynamic of the game. Do I pinch hit for my pitcher or keep him in b/c I need him to pitch the next half inning?
Do I bunt this guy over even though the pitcher is in the hole?
Do I steal third b/c the pitcher is on deck?
Now granted, I see strategy in AL games b/c the DH usually needs to pitched around in many cases but just seems to me like AL games are more simplistic to play and mange than NL games.
As I stated in another thread, I'd rather see a 2-1 pitchers duel than an 11-9 shootout.
