do you like interleague play

[dacubys]

i like it but i think they need to redo the way the matchups are to have it more balanced with the teams in the same division

Re: do you like interleague play

it's alright I guess...I find it hard to get too amped up for certain matchups, but I think it's a nice way for fans of teams to be exposed to some teams/players they might never hear about otherwise.

No, I wish they'd get rid of it now.

Re: do you like interleague play

I personally love it. It exciting to see everybody play teams that they don't normally play. Interleague play should stick around.

Re: do you like interleague play

I like being able to see teams in the AL against my team... but the last two years it's really messed up the Padres so I'm half and half about it.

Yeah, the NL West got pwned by the AL Central.

I'm pretty indifferent about it. It's nice to see teams play that normally wouldn't but I wouldn't mind at all if they got rid of it.

Get rid of interleague play and the DH rule.

DH FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: do you like interleague play

I think they should get rid of it because the con's far outweigh the pro's.

Pro's:
-Matchups like Yankees vs Mets and Cubs vs White Sox

Con's
- Most teams don't have natural rivals. The Braves are not the Red Sox rivals just because they were in Boston 50 years ago.
- It's unfair for away teams. They are playing in parks which they never play in. NL teams aren't built to use a DH and AL teams don't have pitchers that can hit.
- It creates an unbalanced schedule for division rivals.
- There are less games against non-division teams. I'd much rather see the Red Sox play the A's or Angels a few more times a year than Cincy and Pittsburgh every 4 years.
- The WS isn't as interesting if the teams have already seen each other during the season.

Interleague play isn't going away but I'd like them to reduce the number of interleague games to just a few series.

Get rid of the DH rule.

If anything they should make the NL use a DH too. I don't see why people like pitchers to hit. I want to see a pitcher hit just about as much as I want to see David Ortiz pitch. (or play 1st base )

Re: do you like interleague play

I hate it.

I guess I'm more of a traditionalist in this case. Personally, I'd like to see them do away with it, or at least switch to a more balanced schedule. I think it's silly how some teams play as many games against their "Interleague Rivals" as they do against some teams in their own league.

I doesn’t really matter the reds are going to stink no matter who they play….

Re: do you like interleague play

Yeah, I think that they should have a couple of series' and thats about it. We dont need to play every team in a division or whatever. I'd like to see more games go to their own league. I'm so pissed that the Braves only come to LA once this year, and it'd be much better to play them another series than play the Orioles or some other team that has no significance to the Braves.
