Good. They need to scrap the DH in the AL too. Takes away too much of the strategy.

I don't approve. Both leagues need to play the same way.
The AL should get rid of the shitty DH, then.

If I had my way, both leagues would have pitchers hit, but I'm also a realist, and just because the DH won't be in the NL in 2021, It'll be there when the time for a new CBA comes up, and I think that's after the 2021 season, and if that's correct, it's just delaying the inevitable for one year.
And with all that said, pitchers have been getting worse at hitting as time has gone on, like the fuckers can't even reliably lay down a sac bunt anymore, but it if there's a DH, you'll never see something like Tim Hudson hitting a homerun for the only run of the game for his 200th career win again.

Agreed, but have you tried talking sense to a fan of an AL team about how the DH ruins the game?

Pennant races used to be so much fun. Divisional matchups meant so much.

Never met a fan of an AL team that had much sense to begin with.

"Hey union, you know all those old guys that can hit but can't play defense? Well we can keep them around to drive up contract prices." would be about all they have to tell the union.
