I think not.
As much as I still enjoy the game of baseball, the pitch counts and the DH are still awful and should not be a part of the game. I am glad that I mostly watch games where there is no DH.

Funny you should mention Marichal. The first game my Dad ever took me to - in 1968 - Juan Marichal pitched a complete 11 inning game, beating the Houston Astros.
