This question was asked a few months ago. Now that the season is underway, what do you think?

I’ve changed my tune a bit. I like the NL DH rule, but I absolutely can’t stand the ghost runner on 2nd in extra innings.

Mixed.

1) The Indians should have remained the Indians – the Guardians name is OK but frankly, unnecessary.

2) DH Rule: I didn’t like it in the first place (30 years ago) and they should have gotten rid of it instead of expanded it.

3) Ghost runners – stupid

4) what’s the problem with the inconsistency of the physical baseballs?

5) Nine-inning doubleheaders = good

@elbanditoroso I didn’t have a problem with the name “Indians” either, but I did have a problem with Chief Wahoo.

I would rather the designated hitter was eliminated in both leagues, but I like the uniformity.

Re: ghost runner – I don’t like contrivances (like the DH). But at least it’s only an extra inning thing.
