The National League & the DH

[Scrapps]

Being that I'll be firing up my franchise with an NL team shortly, I'm curious what your thoughts are, regarding the DH. I'm not sure if I should set the DH to on, considering this cannot be changed, once you begin your franchise.

Is it just a matter of time before the NL adopts the DH? Or, will they continue to let the pitcher hit for the next five years or more? Thoughts?

I hope and think that the NL will stay without a DH. I don't like the idea of it and I think it brings a different level or strategy to the game when you have to have your pitcher hit. Plus I would not want to miss MadBum raking HR's against Kershaw!

I really hope the NL never adopts the DH. I just feel the DH takes away a lot of strategy involved in the game. For example, if a team is losing 1-0 in the bottom of the 6th, the SP is throwing great and has a low pitch count. But he is coming to bat with 2 outs and a man on 3rd base. Do you pinch hit for him? Leave him in? This situation would never come up in the AL. I feel like in the AL game, the manager only has to manage his bullpen well and never has to be concerned with bunting or pinch hitting at all. I feel the AL is missing part of the game. Plus I feel players should both hit and field.
