I’d rather see a DH than some .100-hitting pitcher.

sometimes they come thru. One thing we know is an AL manager doesn’t have to make the decision to let the pitcher, who moght be doing well, to hit or leave him in. It’s probably the most important decision a NL manager has to make. AL managers are relieved of that decision. I thought only softball had 10 players on a side.

On the other hand, the extra pressure it puts on a pitcher, and the use of the double switch adds some elements missing from the DH's use.

Uh-oh. You just opened up a big can of worms.

Using a DH isn’t playing baseball. That’s prostituting the game for the sake of ticket sales.

Nothing worse than watching AL pitchers at bat.
