      I always prefer watching NL games, so I disagree with the basic premise that this "improves on-field product."

        I don't like that AL games last 7 hours but I like the overall feel of the game. Every at bat has the potential for something to happen.

        The casual fan would much rather watch AL ball though, I'm sure.

          I enjoy the game much more without the DH. It significantly decreases the use of a bench

            It significantly decreases the use of less talented players is what I'm seeing.

              And decreases the use of strategy in the game

                Well, not necessarily. You're creating 16 more full time offensive jobs. Those aren't going to be filled with studs out of nowhere.

                  Oh man, those sac bunts and double switches are soooooo exciting and strategic!

                    We're gonna need a DH.

                      I don't think it does. The double switch isn't this amazing strategic ploy. The only thing it takes away is forcing the manager to decide to PH, or leave your starter in in late game situations.

                      I was talking about Jay's comment about decrease in bench being used.

                        It completely changes in game management by removing a lot of variables.

                          I don't think so. Managers do a hell of a lot more in-game than PHing and changing pitchers.

                            I never said they don't except having a DH completely changes that part of managing.

                              Like getting a free out every 3 innings and being able to pitch around an 8 hitter

                                Don't forget base clogging!
