It's actually a pretty good read (I was one of thousands in the area to get it as a Fathers Day gift)

Pretty wild how we maybe don’t win the 2008 ws without Eric Bruntlett

Also wild that his beard was considered big by Joe Buck.

choooch

Remember dragging another tv down because the penn state/Ohio state game was that night as well.

I had eagles tickets for the next day. Watched this at home and partied my ass off got a few hours of sleep and drove down for kegs and eggs. Met up with meatball and bakestar at some point during Sunday and managed to haul my ass home to watch game 4.

This game was my bachelor party. What a fucking night.

Yep, I was at that game in Columbus. The Terrelle Pryor fumble game! Was following on my (flip) phone and due to the rain delay was able to get back to the hotel in time to see the bottom of the 9th.

Same, minus I heard the end on the radio as I drove back to Penn State. I was in one of the OSU student sections which was amazing.

I was behind section 224. After Bruntlett scored, I ran all the way to the Novacare lot so I could beat traffic.

Now that it’s here I’m intrigued by DH. Should really help us with Bruce and Bohm, and to get McCutchen and Harper off their feet. And Harper late career.

Kingery will be all over the place haha. ‘Scotty Doesn’t Know’

Yeah Kingery playing every position makes more sense with a DH.

Probably helps the Phillies though it makes the game less exciting. Not sure what the point of a bench is.

For people into strategy? I concede that point but am also looking forward to chopping up whom they should put at DH on a given day

I'm just happy not to watch pitchers "hit"

Think I'd rather call a Trumper right after their favorite show on Fox News

Lose quite a bit of strategery - won't see the double switches of NL past.

always thought the dh made the game kinda vanilla as a fan and takes away some of the chess playing strategic aspect. not cheering, nor hating. just kinda meh. if it were my choice, no dh. get me a good dinner at the golden corral, and i'll be over it.

Maybe watching AL baseball a lot growing up softened my stance.

the phillies have been screwed a few times by not having an extra spot in the order so i certainly welcome it.

I am a full DH convert. Good hitting pitchers barely exist anymore, so to me it throws the flow of the game off when you get down to their spot. Plus watching managers outsmart themselves with the double switches. Just put your best lineup out there and go...use the bench to get guys rest and maybe defense/pinch running at the end.

This is basically how I feel besides the Golden Corral part
