That was my first thought. Now if they can just fix that stupid super-short left field in that idiotic ballpark. I hate houston and that ball park, especially that stupid hill in center field it's a terrible park. random pole in the middle of stated hill

Wow, that playbook must be huge. who said anything about a book? those are just suggestions off the top of my head. do you think its not strategy when they have the infielders come in at the corners or the outfielders play at no doubles depth or play in so any shallow hit balls could be thrown in to get a potential runner coming home from third? i guess they do that because they get tired of standing in one spot. you're right, no strategy in baseball. :roll:

this was my initial thought as well. why stop at 1 DH when you could have 9. i personally don't like the DH. It brings more strategy into the game when you have runners on first with 1 out and the pitcher comes up. he has to execute his bunt. I think if you play the field you should have to swing the bat. the game is taught to be like that. You don't go with 9 because the pitcher is the only unique position on the field, a guy who plays every 5th day. And baseball is not a game of strategy. It's a game of pitcher vs hitter, with a little fielding thrown in. There is not strategy involved in a sac bunt. It's not an elaborate thought out plan. It's just a guy who can't hit giving up. you could have him bunt, swing away or pinch hit. I would agree with you most of the time it isn't strategy but sometimes it is. coaches do have strategies. Some coaches bring in a pitcher to pitch to just one hitter or bring in a new pitcher to have unfavorable matchup against a pinch hitter.

IMO he just did it so he wouldn't be a distraction come spring training. I don't think anybody was surprised that he did it.
