The DH is garbage.
So is MLB for that matter...I also read that they are going to outlaw the shift also.
Players who make $20mil a year should learn to hit to the opposite field or lay down a bunt.

I don’t even care about baseball anymore but I wish they’d made this decision when I was a kid. I hated watching the pitcher who was hitting .078 come to the plate in the 5th inning with two on and two outs. Unless it was the Phillies. Luckily most of the games I watched were o’s games and Singleton was the dh for some years but I also Loved the Pirates.

I think they should also have a couple designated fielders for athletes who are acrobatic in the field but cannot hit a lick. For what they charge for tickets, we should be seeing the best on both sides of the field.
Nobody complains that NFL linemen cannot catch a ball, but that's not their specialty.
We should not have to endure clumsy fielding or crappy hitting.

MLB changes its rules more than NASCAR. Its bullshit.
