rdwj said:The DH roll is to hit and they do it better than most position players. Most of them CAN play the field, just not brilliantly. With NL rules, plenty of these guys would still be playing the game as full time players because of their bats - which would make defenses worse. The guys that weren't full time players, would be part time players and they'd hit off the bench. They would still be very useful.
Pitchers that move to the NL ARE less effective. They're not good enough at their MAIN job to compete with the very best - that can't be debated. They're also mostly VERY poor hitters.
I want to see the best batters facing the best pitchers with the best possible defense behind them. That's AL ball.
If watching lesser pitchers facing fewer dangerous hitters with sometimes suspect defenses is what you want to see - by all means, watch the NL.

Anyone watch the Dodger/Pirates game last night? Wolf pitched 10 strikeouts, retiring the side twice, allowed only 1 run and hit 2 doubles, getting 2 RBI's off of the first one. Who says batting 9th is an easy out.rdwj said:Pitchers suck at hitting. Who wants to see two easy outs at the end of the rotation? The AL brand of baseball is far superior and much more exciting.
I think a good hitting/sacrificing pitcher in the NL is awesome. I used to love it back in the 90's when Glavine or Smoltz was up in the rotation for the Braves just because they were both great personnel for manufacturing runs.Brewsmith said:Anyone watch the Dodger/Pirates game last night?

sause said:The Brewers-Cubs game tonight is the reason I like NL baseball better. The cubs had no more fielder palyers left on the bench. The brewers only had one and were down to their last pitcher. Pitching changes all night pinch hitters everytime the pitcher came up from the 6th on. Getting nerous on if your pitcher is going to be able to finish a game. It's really exciting.
