Over the years I've gone from being ambivalent about the DH to being generally in favor of it in the NL. The anti-DH crowd would have a much stronger case to make if pitchers weren't almost universally such awful hitters.
This fixation on the "strategy" of the NL rules is mystifying, too. When did it become a GOOD thing for managers to pull a dominant starting pitcher in the late innings of a close game just because the guy's spot in the lineup was up?
Maybe you should read a book about baseball or something.
Because in the modern game, nobody pulls a dominant pitcher in the late innings for that reason.
You bring up a good point which made me think of another: this whole "pitch count" management of the game really irks the crap out of me. How many times do we have to see a pitcher doing really well going into the sixth or seventh inning and getting pulled because his pitch count hits 80-90?
Even worse, I lost count this year every time a pitcher got pulled after five innings. FFS, I'm really not liking any of these changes to baseball, being done in the name of "speeding up the game" because the stupid, worthless millenials don't like a game that lasts more than two-hours and thirty minutes?
