Goodness, if it's constant action that you want, why the hell are you
following baseball???

A sacrifice bunt requires a choice, and its excitement is strategic.
Also, a sacrifice bunt by a pitcher is no less exciting than a
sacrifice bunt by a shortstop...would you have us ban sacrifice bunts?
If fewer sacrifice bunts is a positive good, from your point of view,
wouldn't even fewer be better?

If you can't sit still still for a little mangerial chess, perhaps you
should switch to rollerderby.  Or professional wrestling.  They have
plenty of "designated hitters" in those sports, Roy.  More action than
baseball, too.
