Granted, I'm an old fuddy-duddy. I would rather see the decision making process still involved about rather to leave the pitcher in because they're still pitching well, or take them out for a pinch-hitter because the team is behind. What about the double-switch to put that left-handed bat in for later in the game? Or, should the pitcher stay in and sacrafice the runners along? There are so many additional sub-plots involved; I guess I prefer those instead of the simplicity of offense/defense.
If it's that bad of an idea, why has it been around so long?

I understand being a traditionalist and can appreciate your preference. My preference is just different. So, to each his own.

BTW, you still hitting a wood driver off the tee?
