jranieli Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 both leagues should be in uniform with their rules, either a dh or no dh. The DH should go because the league did fine with it for so many years but yet it adds excitement and more runs. Tough call, but I vote no.

fringe Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 If you proposed the DH to to Abner Doubleday, he'd look at you like you were nuts. While he would probably be ok with most of the other changes because they make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 When the DH is used properly, ie; To "rest banged up position players, then I think it's a good rule. But I don't agree with career DH's. If we had to vote, I'd go with dropping it. Too many clubs misuse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why a DH never deserves an MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njsmalls Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I voted no and they should lower the mound. Players will still put up huge numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feefifoefum Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Now that DH's are no longer older veterans hanging on, and are key elements in a team's lineup, it's really not a fair fight when the NL has to play in an AL park. No NL team can carry a 30 HR bench player to insert into a lineup vs. the AL. It also takes away from the structure of a traditional lineup with no pitcher in the lineup. Get rid of the DH now!!! They don't even use it in Little League!!! NL baseball is the way the game was meant to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 explain. Bottom line, the DH puts more runs on the board, which is what fans crave. And I like the idea that teams can alternate players. Right now, with Matsui back, Cabrera wouldn't even be playing without the DH rule. Sure, it takes away some strategy, but not that much. The NL fans get to second guess a manager a little more if he removes a pitcher for a pinch hitter when the pitcher’s still doing well. Maybe Abner didn’t write it in because he didn’t think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
