Well, their reasoning is that it's to prevent pitchers from being hurt/being switched too much. Team's complaining about having their pitchers used and the fear of running out of players are the biggest obstacles they face every year.
I don't think you're wrong though.

Yeah, I have no problems with it being used in the ASG, I just fear it could spill over further.

I'm also hoping that by having the ASG use rules that aren't used during the regular season, they finally take away that fucking stupid home field advantage rule. I remember Keith Hernandez ranting about that in the booth one day - back in the '70s and '80s the players were genuinely prideful of their league without having some gay stipulation attached to the game.

I don't mind it so much in the ASG. Even if MLB eliminated the DH altogether, which I'd love, I still think it should be there. It allows room for another all-star.

Yes they do... best of my knowledge.

That's called sport.

Why not have players that only bat and players that only hit. 8 fielders and then 8 batters.

See how dumb that sounds.

It's stipid how one league doesn't have a DH while the other does.

That makes no fucking sense.

What's wrong with the winning league's eventual WS representative have home-field advantage for that 1 series? It's not like it affects the entire MLB playoff schedule.

The only issue I have with the All-Star Games is when they allowed it to end in a tie back in '02, which goes totally against the fact that the sport of baseball should only EVER be decided with one side winning and one side losing.

But yeah, it would be really ridiculous if they took away the AL/NL. Would destroy a lot of great rivalries/history between teams with long-standing "feuds".
