interleague play *or* DH vs no DH

sublime · #1 06-08-2005, 11:43 PM

personally i like interleague play, but i do think it has some flaws. first and foremost being the schedule unbalance between teams fighting for playoff spots. also the lack of DH in the NL is beyond nostalgic now. its just retarded.

i agree... NL has it all wrong, every team basically has a retard for a nine hitter. David Ortiz is good for baseball...GO SOX!!!!

somebody will post how it creates strategy and all that. i prefer to see athletes do what they are best at, pitchers pitch and hitters hit. seeing david wells run tonight made me want to electrocute my nutsack.

It creates strategy.

But why stop there. Why should Mike Piazza play the field when he's no good at it? Let's have each team's lineup be the 9 best hitters and in the field play the best 9 fielders.

Or we can play the game known as "baseball".

please, don't take a valid argument that i have and distort it to make it look silly.

just because it was played with no DH for umpteen years, doesn't means its the better way. changes are always made for the better of the game, why not make this one?

3-0 sox in the T7th

wells pitching a very good game

DH is good for the game...no argument
watching pitchers trying to hit is like watching a train wreck...you can't look away.

How is playing by the original rules being "nostalgic"? The DH is a joke - removes a lot of strategy from the game. Time for the AL to end the experiment.
