I know what you’re saying.
It makes the product on the field better, yes, but I don’t want a game full of defensive specialists and DHs. I mean the DH is an actual position. If you’re going to have 2 in the lineup, why not 3? Why not 4?
Replacing the pitcher with the DH was an obvious inprovement because pitchers truly can’t hit. They don’t work at it and they don’t get consistent ABs and that will never change, so why torture everyone? Watching them hack away like a drunk guy in a batting cage is stupid and makes a 3 hour often boring game even more boring. I love baseball but it’s true.
I mean you could probably replace most catchers with a DH in the lineup and improve offense but it’s not like catchers CAN’T hit. They can. They’re just usually not great hitters.
Pitchers can’t fucking hit.
