I think the extra inning rule is ok. Brings a lot more strategy into it than I would have thought. It's probably a more legitimate tie breaker than position players pitching in the 17th inning.
I do really hate the DH as much as I thought I did. Bench players are now almost pointless, and it's all about the home runs.
I really failed at keeping up with the off-season, what is the new extra innings rule? And am I correct in assuming that the new baseball-wide DH is permanent?
