It'll benefit the NL clubs as well. As it opens a lot of aging players who can't go out there every day to remain in NL parks as opposed to waiting solely on AL offers. All those problems the Brewers had last year rotating Thames and Aguilar around essentially having them dump one of them would of never even amounted to that.
Great defensive players who suck at hitting are only significantly better hitters than pitchers because those are the only ones who make it to the bigs. Anyone who hits as poorly as a pitcher wouldn't even sniff high A.
My thought process is if we are gonna have the DH because it makes the product on the field better I don't see how you could argue against adding a second DH because it would undeniably make the product better. Every single team has a player on the bench who fields better than one of their every day players. And it makes resting guys better which would reduce injuries and keep star players playing more consistently.
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.

Oh another big argument for the DH, it extends the career of some players by giving them days off from fielding.
Play ball?!
Apparently July 23rd or 24th
Kinda excited my fantasy team will actually play
Dh in nl Get that fucking shit out of here im so pissed. Controversy over games lasting too long for public audience. Hey lets throw in some more bats. Makes no fucking sense
Makes no sense watching pitchers make assholes out of themselves trying to hit. Completely useless. It’s the dumbest shit in pro sports.
NL needs to get with the times. It’s been 47 years for fuck’s sake.
Got a MLB lineup today hope it works
