    Its about damn time.

    I can't figure out why anyone in their right mind would rather see a pitcher go up there with a double digit batting average and wave at 3 pitches instead of a hitter who's in the league solely because of his ability to hit.

    and spare me the BS about how forcing pitchers to bat creates more "strategy" - all of that strategy is just creative ways to avoid bringing a terrible hitter to the plate.

    The game of baseball will be better off for this change. I hope its permanent.
