DH in NL...Yes or No ?

[Band of Brothers]

A lot of talk from the new Commish about adding the DH to the NL. Yes or No ?

I am old school and don't want the DH. I love the strategy of the NL game. Real baseball. If they go to the DH I will not like it at all. The AL is just a big shootout and the speed and grace of the game has suffered. I will fight the DH to my death.

Dear Everyone,

PLEASE STOP MAKING CHANGES TO BASEBALL. It is the only perfect sport we have left.

Thanks

I like having both. Just leave it

I get that he's trying to drum up more interest but the new commish needs to cut the inflammatory comments. I will hate having the DH in both leagues.
Hate.

I HATE the DH.

However, I came up with a structure that MAY be a decent compromise...

Link the DH to the pitcher. If you take out your pitcher, your DH is gone as well, and a new hitter needs to bat when his spot comes up in the lineup. If you PH or PR for your DH, your pitcher comes out as well.

This will keep the strategy of the NL in place, while increasing offense for the short attention span generation.

This would likely require expanding the rosters to 26 or 27, though...

I voted either, because I don't care which way they go with this. I just want them to make both leagues have the same rules.

Not laying a trap, just asking..

Which do you prefer? DH or no DH?
