GeneralKenobi85 06/02/21 7:50:57 PM #21:	I think the advantage the AL has with the DH is being overstated. Yes, it does give the AL teams an advantage when it comes to constructing their roster. But when competing against each other they obviously use the same rules. And yeah, the potential for injuries does suck, but players get injured all the time from doing mundane shit. It's an unfortunate reality of baseball. The NL should adopt the DH. It does make sense for it to be universal. And I think it will be soon. But my ultimate preference would be to make no changes at all, since I like how the system works as it is. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> <cite>GeneralKenobi85 posted [p:954578561] in Put the DH...

Mike_Stanton 06/03/21 1:03:36 AM #23:	Absolutely not. The DH takes away all the strategy involved in deciding whether to send up a pinch hitter, and hand the ball to your bullpen or keep the pitcher in the game at the cost of having him bat. There's further strategy when it comes to making a pitching change in the middle of an inning because the manager has to be mindful of whether the pitcher is due up to bat in the next half inning. Wouldn't want to put in a reliever only to have to pinch hit for him immediately afterwards, so instead the manager has to execute a double switch. In other words, swap the new pitcher for a position player who is not due to bat soon, then swap his position with the previous pitcher, before finally subbing the previous pitcher for a new position player to bat in the upcoming number 9 hole. It's a technical substitution move that's completely absent from the AL game. Questions for proponents of the DH... 1) Why not have a Designated Runner for catchers? Catchers can't run for shit and we also can't have them being stranded on base at the end of the inning when they should be in the dugout getting suited up for the next inning. 2) Why not just bat an 8 man lineup? If the issue is the fact that pitchers simply can't hit then why even bat a lineup of 9 hitters anyway? No reason to give more at-bats to those number 9 hitters when we can give more at-bats to those 1-2-3-4-5 hitters. --- RIP Butters_1188 2005-2009 Prove me wrong <cite>Mike_Stanton posted [p:954587695] in Put the DH...

The manager can send up a pinch hitter if he decides he values a better bat in the moment over keeping his pitcher's arm in the game. Cornmuffins posted... Why not get a pinch hitter, hope for the best, and put a new guy in next inning if necessary idk seems a lot more interesting Exactly. --- RIP Butters_1188 2005-2009 Prove me wrong <cite>Mike_Stanton posted [p:954668409] in Put the DH...

Why not get a pinch hitter, hope for the best, and put a new guy in next inning if necessary idk seems a lot more interesting I like the strategy of pinch hitting but I also prefer seeing a pitcher go as long as possible. I imagine most baseball fans would prefer to see their starter pitch 7+ innings. So of course saying the pitcher isn't forced to bat is technically true. But the result is a larger number of pitchers used per game. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> <cite>GeneralKenobi85 posted [p:954674618] in Put the DH...

Damn_Underscore 06/05/21 12:33:43 PM #42:	I disagree. Pitchers hitting adds an interesting dynamic. But I don't want to remove it from the AL because it works in the AL. Just leave it how it is. --- She used to look good to me, but now I find her <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:954674654] in Put the DH... [t:79488884]...</cite> <quote>I disagree.
