A pitcher required to face at least 3 batters doesn't eliminate strategy. Do I put in Joe who owns the current batter but has mixed success with the next 2? Or do I put in Bob who might have trouble with the current guy but owns the next 2? And what if I put in Bob and the manager of the other team decides to pinch hit the next 2? It just changes the strategy.
Personally, my bigger gripes are expanded playoffs, how the season drags into the cold of the year, the late start times for playoffs/world series. And the DH, of course.
