The National League is the superior league. An Ameircan league lineup doesn't have all the players playing in the game, the DH is some retarded pussy shit
>muh home runs!
>muh entertainment!
The American League is an abomination and it's time we all recognize this
National League is for autistic children
You're doing God's work, Anon.

OP speaks the truth. It's too bad the NL will get a DH in your lifetime.

How often do players get hit?
More importantly, how often do pitchers, who see mostly straight fastballs which are easier to control, pitchers, the worst hitters in the league that nobody would want to give a free pass to, how often do they get hit by a pitch?
Never

Better WS record

National League, right?
Nope. That's the American League

Because then hitting stats are flawed because nl batters would have +100 PAs per season

But of course you'll score more runs when every fat ape who can swing a bat is on your team

So AL has an odd year dynasty? am confuse
I saw a poll recently, most American League fans think the NBA should institute a designated free throw shooter who only comes off the bench to shoot, then must sit back down.
american league fans truely just want to see sport ruined.
>>66757823
You suck dick, Chad
Lol
It would be fun if golfers could hire their own designated putters though :^ football already has a designated "punter" while literally anyone can punt a ball. its the same thing really.
>since the DH was implemented in the AL
>5 more WS wins for the AL
>4 more All-Star Game wins for the AL
Ever since Chien-Ming Wang's career was ruined because of NL rules I've drawn great pleasure in the inevitability of the DH coming to the NL.
>>66757906
We don't care about championships though. We care about the integrity of the game.
If pitchers hitting is so sacred to the game then why dont hitters pitch?
Checkmate, NLatheists
>>66757924
Just the type of cucked answer I'd expect from a NL fan.
>>66757945
maybe we should just do away with designated pitchers all together and make the defense do a round robin of sorts where each position player pitches an inning and it rotates until everyone pitches.

Pinch hitting is part of the game. There is no game management in the American League unfortunately

if the yankees were NL the NL would have more rings.
Only jews want DH in NL so their fat paychecks dont get hit by the pitch

Why do you think 20 inning games are the pinnacle of sports
Because some outfielder that hasn't pitched since middle school has to come in at relief
Watching players master all different aspects of a sport is much more interesting than watching them just master one specific role.
Official Rules:
1.00 Objectives of the Game
1.01
Baseball is a game between two teams of nine players each, under direction of a manager, played on an enclosed field in accordance with these rules, under jurisdiction of one or more umpires.
The american league plays some bastardized version of baseball
>>66758791
>pitchers master hitting
'no'
>inb4 muh one or two nl pitchers that can actually hit
the majority are free outs
>>66758819
Zach Britton hit a double in his first AB. No DH allows for fun memories such as these even for an AL fan like me.
>>66756259
Hi Grandpa.

The 9 players on the field should play the other 9 players on the opposing team, it's very simple
>>66756259
Agreed, OP. This is why the Astros no longer exist to me.
>>66757596
Just reminded me. Inter-league play is an abomination. Can decide divisional races when it has no business existing, like the DH.

That's literally it.

fucking why?
>>66761168
I hate inter-league play, it serves no purpose other than to let the Dodgers play the Yankees.
>>66761471
162 is way too many and it stops anyone who isn't a hardcore fan from caring about the regular season. They should cut it down to 84. Every team plays every other team in their league three times at home and three times away. The best team in each league at the end of the season is crowned league champions and advances to the World Series.

It's shit.

pitchers are shit at hitting and will only get worse at it. Not only that but NL pitchers stat-pad by pitching against pitchers/shitty pinch-hitters.

>b..but muh once-a-year pitcher dingers
NL is salty that their "league" is literally babby-tier
>>66761523
I think they should play about 120 games. A long season is part of baseball, but 162 is too much, it could be trimmed down to add a little bit more meaning to the games. Of course this will never happen for a few different reasons
>muh free outs
>>66761523
>I hate inter-league play, it serves no purpose other than to let the Dodgers play the Yankees.
Interleague is kind of neat though, get to see teams play that you don't usually see.
>162 is way too many and it stops anyone who isn't a hardcore fan from caring about the regular season. They should cut it down to 84.
Why cater to casualfags? Baseball is so comfy tier because there are games on all the time and you don't necessarily have to watch every game to be a hardcore fan.
>>66761523
>The season needs to be cut in half meme
This would seriously turn an already low scoring game and basically end up making it soccer where the final could almost always be 1-0, to explain it means hitters don't find any rhythm, you'd only need 3 starters, you could have a fucking hueg bull pen that could pitch every single game, and it would literally destroy the game
The DH is for impatient easily distracted casuals. I think watching the pitcher hit is one of the most entertaining parts of a game. If you want to be in a lineup, you should play a spot on the field. No pampering a guy who sits on the bench only to take a few swings every 3 innings who occasionally gets a few hits where a pitcher will get out
>>66763481
>If you want to be in a lineup, you should play a spot on the field. No pampering a guy who sits on the bench
>put in pinch hitter for the pitcher half of the game
>>66757023
>his pitcher can't hit home runs
I would be okay with abolishing the DH. It's not like the Mariners are ever capable of assembling a roster with 9 MLB-caliber hitters anyways. Maybe if the other team is only permitted 8, they might win a few more.

wowo what a slugger!
>>66763776
Take into account that he's usually out of those games by the 6th/7th inning and often only gets 2 at bats in the games he plays in and 12 home runs is some legitimate pop, for a pitcher especially
I don't like baseball, so I have no dog in the fight.
One of my major annoyances is the DH rule. I can't comprehend how a bunch of man-babies would have the power to alter a league.
Shit sport and even a shitter ruling

Move along
AL is heresy
Why don't the two leagues just merge to play a final championship game to see which league contains the best team?
>>66764295
Great idea. We could call that new league, Major League Baseball. And the final championship will be called the World Series.

The only reason idiots don't want it in baseball is because muh tradition
>>66764425
Difference there is that both conferences in NFL/NBA/NHL play by the same rules.
>>66764470
Implying playing by NL or AL DH rules is that difficult.
Muh easy out
Tldr: the AL has the better game, the NL has the smarter game.
