Dusty often talks of the nuances and strategies of a significant part of the game the fans have no clue about. It's gonna be a skill set that gets lost.

I heard someone suggest the DH should be tied to the pitcher, or whatever player he's hitting for, and when the pitcher or player is pulled and replaced, the DH has to be replaced too. Bow howdy, if that was enacted, managers would really, really have to start managing the bench.


Does college baseball mess with this designated hitter stuff?
