QotD: DH
Posted July 23rd, 2004 @ 09:02pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Question: What do you think of the DH rule?
My Answer: Fuck it. It's an abomination. AL Pitchers should learn to at least bunt for crissakes. The fundamental nature of the game is changed when you have someone who merely hits and someone who merely pitches. The DH has extended the careers of people who should no longer be considered "Major League Baseball players."

Amen! I've always thought that pitchers are, indeed, baseball players and should hit. I can't see how some people can call themselves baseball purists and still think that the DH is good thing. It's a travesty, a sham, it's-- it's-- a travesham!

The DH rule is why I always root for the National League in the World Series. Also, the Yankees blow!

I think that the DH rule should go away. These guys are getting paid millions of dollars per year, the least they could do is swing a few times at the ball.
