MLB All Star game 2008
What a show last night by Josh Hamilton! I am glad the TV here in Costa Rica was showing the Home Run Derby. After watching the show I started thinking about the All Star Game.
Does anyone remember the all star game that went like 16 innings? There were no more pitchers to use and there was a huge controversy over whether or not the all star game should be an important game, or just for fun.
My opinion is this; I believe that the game should be for fun, and giving that I think there should be some rule changes just for the all star game. Does anyone have ideas for new rules to the all star game?
I believe that each pitcher should get 3 innings to pitch, but those can be used at anytime throughout the game. So let’s say that Smoltz starts the game and play 1 inning and then is replaced by Santana.
Well, Smoltz would still have 2 innings he could play, let him come back in the 10th, if it goes that far.
Then if a game ever went 20 innings (I hope not) then pitchers could still pitch.
Also, let’s say A-Rod doesn’t hit well against Smoltz, well you could bring in Smoltz whenever A-Rod is up to bat. This could make the game a lot more fun,
Any thoughts??
