I was just saying to my friend at work, here's another reason to dislike interleague play. Am I whining? Hell yeah. So, I might as well continue.

No, American League pitchers are not used to swinging bats and running bases. Therefore, their risk of injury while doing so is much higher than if they did these things in competition every five days, at least.

So now we have the possibility of losing our best pitcher because he was running hard around third on a meaningless play in a game already won against a team like Houston. It really is unfortunate. I say, stop the stupid interleague play until their styles of play are the same.
