Default O/T - Are you in favor of the DH? Do you think rosters should be expanded?
Posted By: Joann

Ax the DH. It makes baseball something like the NBA. Watch as much of a typical NBA game as you can tolerate and count how many shots are not either within 5 feet or a 3-pt. It's become a game of either dunks or 3's - kind of like the longball oriented DH model. The NL has a much more strategic task, it seems. I know - a stretch of an analogy with the NBA there and poorly explained, but somehow to me AL ball can have the same feel as the NBA. Dull dull dull pop. Dull dull dull pop.

And no to roster expansions. I'd rather back it all upstream and get rid of one to force teams to use fewer specialized pitchers.
