Why the National League sucks...
It's a foregone conclusion that pitcher's batting in the NL will come to an end shortly and bring on the DH... probably by 2017/2018 according to those in the know. The MLBPA is the driving force.

Today's SF and Washington game is a perfect example. Third inning, runners on for SF and they have hitters bunting TWICE IN A ROW! And they suck at bunting! It's the third ****ing inning! JFC! Is Ned Yost the guru of National League managerial thinking? Ridiculous!

It will soon be dead. The players hate the old school NL rules.
You have no ****ing idea what you're talking about. You really shouldn't be starting threads.

Not sure I believe that.

Did the American League suddenly get a lot more popular than the National League when it adopted the DH?

I wish they'd do away with it, mainly because I'm so god damn sick of watching Mike Matheny try and manage it.

Not at all, I think after free agency really took off it started to play a factor in creating more offense. A lot of the early DH's were little more than bench players with a few exceptions like McCrae.

I know it didn't. I was really posing that as a rhetorical question.

I mean, if you bat the pitcher 9th, he might prove less of a liability than if you bat him first. Why doesn't every team do this?
