May 12, 200322 yr http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/baseb...9_mz1s12dh.html Thoughts? I am a HUGE DH fan, and wish it were in the NL to avoid the confusion in the World Series especially (pitchers bat in NL park, DH in AL park). Just hate it when so many beat writers think negatively about it.
May 12, 200322 yr I agree with Hawk on one big aspect of the DH, it makes the pitchers more likely to throw at someone because they don't have to stand in and bat. It is a sort of immunity, and it leads to a teams best player getting hit instead.
May 12, 200322 yr I love the DH, nothing is more BORING to me than the 7,8,9 hitters in an NL game combined average of maybe .245. It is no wonder pitchers strikeout numbers are so much higher in NL, they face a much easier lineup. I also get tired of the tradition arguement from oldtimers, it is not that much harder to manage in the NL or more strategic IMHO.
May 12, 200322 yr I HATE the dh. I like the style of national league ball more. I believe if pitchers were to hit they would have a better idea of how to pitch hitters and I also love the strategy of the game. Only thing I like about the DH is it gives some guys a shot that wouldn't of gotten the shot before. Also lets some vets stick around longer.
May 12, 200322 yr I'm fine with the DH in one league and pitcher in another. I think it distincts the leagues and creates two different styles, which I like. Just don't waste Mike Hampton's power in the AL.
May 13, 200322 yr personally i am with chisoxfan. I think it is purer and funner to watch then some big fat out of shape guy swinging for the fences everytime
