I agree, bro. I’m a Cubs fan here in the Prairie State and would hate to see a DH at Wrigley.
I get wanting to add more offense, but there are better ways to go about it. One thing I think would help is to limit teams to two pitching changes per game - that gives a starter, a middle reliever, and a closer. If a change is needed for injury and they’re already at two, that player automatically goes on the 15 day DL. This would speed up the game and boost offense (no more of this pitching specialist crap), while bringing the game closer to its roots of iron man pitchers.
I like your tagline, BTW.

Like your thinking, especially that bit on the DL.

Can a manager get around that rule by moving his pitcher to another position on the field for an inning or two, then bring him back to pitch later in the game?

I'm a Cubs fan as well. Even though a DH would get Kyle Schwarber out of the field I'd rather Schwarber figure out what to do with that leather thingy on his left hand when he's standing in left field. The DH is an invention of Satan.
