Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 4203012, member: 19"] To me, the DH problem was that it became a thing in all levels. Hard to have a pitcher come up thru the minors where was DH'd for, and then suddenly he needs to hit when he gets to the show. So it became a 9 hitter, sac bunt with 1 out and a runner on first, when do you use a double switch to avoid it, type of strategy. I just don't think that was what Doubleday had in mind. I know there are a lot of NL fans who liked it the way it was. Perhaps they should have left it that way for NL only games, but any game involving an AL team would have the DH. The disparity was even worse when an AL team would play in an NL park. Just my 2 cents, but I grew up an AL fan, so my perspective is different. [/QUOTE]
