This is one of the more ridiculous topics I have seen on this Board. Letting the players run the game? You might have one or two that might be fairly smart about the game but by and large they don't have a clue about strategy and the inside part of the game.
Sorry if my topic was "ridiculous" to you. The point behind it was quite simple... if we can turn over the pitch calling to the catcher, are there any other areas that we could also turn over to the players as they age up and get more knowledgeable of the game. Personally I think it is a fair question and appreciate the responses to date.
