Reply #12: Much better game without the DH. [View All]

[JackRiddler]

Is there an obligation to get the maximum number of runs for you? Why not have unlimited DH's so the shortstop can be a great defensive player who doesn't have to hit? What do you want? What is this, football? Or Econ 101? Must we have a DH because the economy depends on it once a pitcher is making a tenth of a billion dollars?

FYI, pitchers are not automatic outs. Collectively they bat something like .150.

The traditional way means more strategy.

That being said, the AL/NL divide is made more interesting by the DH, especially now that you have interleague play.
