The DH is a complete bastardization of the game...

always has been, always will be...

but I live in Pittsburgh, so it really doesn’t matter what rule changes they make to the play fo the game.. we have an owner who has absolutely no interest or intention of fielding a winning team, so no reason to even pay attention to baseball.

3 decades, the ownership has shown it just doesn’t care, so why should anyone else.

When MLB forces Nutting to sell the team, and institutes a salary cap, that’s when I’ll believe they really care in any way about the game as a whole.

Yes, it is a bastardization but, in my view, a good bastardization. I like offense. The more of it, the more exciting the game is. Pitchers should not hit and hitters should not pitch. Same for football when it comes to offense. 3 yards and a cloud of dust does not do it for me. But bring on the fireworks of a long passing game and a Pat Mahomes and a 52 to 47 game and I’m dumb and happy.

Nutting will spend when contention is in sight.

I’ll take the Pirates in Austin. We’ve only got soccer. That’s not a real sport.
