Without the benefit of a DH,
the Red Sox will sit David Ortiz tonight in the opening game against the Giants at
AT&T Park. MLB Commissioner
Rob Manfred has

Madison Bumgarner). While he's at it, Manfred should make home field advantage in the World Series subject to whichever league does best in inter-league play through the
whole season (since we have to endure inter-league play
every day). The idea that one exhibition game in July should decide this is just as ludicrous as pitchers hitting. Let's get this game into the 21st century!
