It's time they stop the nonsense. The NL should adopt the DH or the AL should lose it. The only problem is, both sides seem to like their league the way it is. I propose they have a two year trial where one year it is all DH and the next all teams have no DH. Then after the trial is up, have a binding vote or a coin toss or something. The way it is now is very stupid.

Colin Cowherd suggested the other day that the NBA should adopt something similar for the eastern conference. Have a sixth guy on the floor who is not allowed to leave the paint on the offensive side. I found it funny, but seriously, I am NL guy from St. Louis.....get rid of the bullshit dh.

To me it is okay until the World Series and those AL pitchers look even worse than their NL counterparts at the plate.

I am a AL guy but the pitcher hitting is the way the game should be played. Way way WAY more strategy aka "the double move" and much more. NL is such a different game than the AL because of the DH.

I do not think anything will change in the near future.

The DH is a friggin' joke. AL needs to force their pu**y ass pitchers to hit (and learn how to bunt).

I like the dh. A good hitter is more exciting than a manager making a double switch any day, and watching 90% of pitchers trying to hit, really is not much fun.

Great hitters stay around much longer now...really prefer the N.L. and no DH.....but from a fan viewpoint, the American Leauge is fun to watch....but the decisions the N.L. managers make are always up to second-guessing, which gets alot of fans into the game more...

and A.L. pitchers wouldn't be as brave in the N.L., for the fear of retaliation....Clemens would have to get his uniform washed more than once a week if he was back in the N.L.

Last time I checked the AL pitchers batting averages were higher then the NL pitchers batting averages in interleague play....

Why would they get rid of the DH... The AL is clearly the stronger league and the league that is more fun to watch and draws more fans possibly... not so sure on that...

The game of having two automatic outs is stupid... The pitcher hitting is a joke...

The DH adds to the game and bench players in the AL play a different role then ones in the NL...
