The 2 conferences in a sport having slightly different rules is one of the many things rhat makes baseball so different from other sports. Gives you the chamce to enjoy tradition, which is fun, but also gives you specialization, which can also be interesting

I think it works great with the current system. The way it works with inter-league and the WS is really cool. If I had to choose only one, I’d pick National League rules because I love seeing stuff like we saw with deGrom helping his own cause the other day. But I don’t have to choose.

I think it would be awesome if you could have one DH per team no matter the position of the player that is cut from the batting lineup. This would open up for more specialized fielders and if a pitcher can and wants to hit he can

@ for our posterity, there needs to be a solid line stated and enshrined that is clear and will never be crossed. The inherent problem with democracy is if it becomes what is most popular at the time... Imagine if we have dual threat pitchers?! To get to that point would be incredible. However, the fact the league allowed the DH creates a wrinkle in that if we eliminate the DH what will those guys transition into.. To avoid that problem is why lines are important

I prefer pitcher going to the bat for me it just makes more sense, a player just here to hit is weird for me. Everyone should both play offence and defence imo (or atleast keep the NL like that for future seasons)

I understand why people like the DH. However, when baseball was first created it was meant that if you play the field you hit at the plate. I understand that most pitchers are not good hitters, but it is unfair that if the entire team has to play all parts of the game, that two people - the pitcher & the DH - get to only participate in half of it.

When baseball was first created, batters could tell the pitcher where they wanted the ball thrown, and the pitcher had to oblige. Things change over time for a reason.

I call BS on the “strategy” of having a pitcher hit. It’s more like ceremony. The AL still has pinch hitting, pinch running, double switches, etc. just not as much. And the video said that the DH basically saved baseball from bankruptcy.

I'd say to have a DH in both leagues, but give the managers a choice of whether they want their DH to be the pitcher starting, or if they want the DH to be another player on the bench. When the SP gets taken out, then that SP can remain the DH, the relief pitcher will be the new DH, or the manager will choose another hitter on the bench to be the DH. It will benefit two-way players like Mckay and Ohtani or other pitchers who like to hit and are good at hitting.

I think the problem with the whole NL trying it out would be that some teams would be hate it and some would love it, so half the league wouldn’t like it but be forced to do it.

An interesting experiment would be to have 8 man batting orders and only allow pitchers to replace pitchers. In other words a pitcher cannot switch for a first baseman (and vice versa).

There should be a universal DH the game is different now pitchers can't hit well

The NL and AL should keep their different rules! That and the fact that stadiums have different dimensions gives the MLB so much more charm than the other North American sports leagues!

2:50 Lesson (that should've been) learned: Don't let your ace take a bunt to the face. Get a DH.

Prefer the AL way, you can preserve the health of your pitchers and you get the added bonus big home runs.

Unfortunately, that problem is way more than just designated hitters can fix.

Years later, I feel like I need to observe the obvious: Bartolo's one home run is the result of a career of complete at-the-plate futility. Bartolo Colon's lifetime slash line is .084/.092/.107 for a wRC+ of -53. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Big Sexy's one career home run doesn't make up for the amount of offense his presence in the lineup removed from his teams at the plate.

2:30 Shohei Ohtani: and you were saying?

Pitchers who rake! #NoDH

Nelson Cruz would have lost out on six of the most productive years of his career without the designated hitter rule.

You should be able to play both sides of the ball. I hate those DH's who cant even bend over to pick up a ball or even throw it 20 feet or when the do hit the ball, they have to limp to 1st.

No dh and no pitchers just let it be 1-8 position players. You get more at bats for your top hitters.

Shohei Ohtani laughs in Babe Ruth.

Easy solution, if you have a pitcher that is a good hitter allow them to hit, if they are not a good hitter allow a DH.

MLB is not a sport it is a business. The object is not to sell baseball it is to sell a product. People don't like baseball they like entertainment.

Can’t wait to watch!!!!

Let's have a vote right here to settle this matter once and for all DH: comment No DH: like

DH is a good chance for player that can't field, but a pitcher who can hit deserve some advantages, I dunno... Edit: I think they should not change anything, a legue has it and a league doesn't, so DH and pitchers who are good at bat can live together.

Please leave Baseball alone. The pitcher hitting brings a lot of more strategies to the game and also it gives the opportunity to more players to get a chance at bat.

This is going to be exiting! ⚾️❤️

You omitted talking about or showing exciting pitchers hitting like Bumgarner and Greinke. Some people proposes to change DH rule to substitute any player managers want, not necessarily the pitcher.

My opinion on a single sentence: BARTOLO HAS DONE IT!!!

Can't wait opening day ! Time is so so long actually

I think pitchers should be allowed to hit if they want to, if they don’t then just use a DH

Were’s is the is designated fielder???

Watching this Mets season makes me glad that pitchers hit, it’s fun watching DeGrom get hits.

Those videos are gold.

Think the DH is a good thing because it can extend the careers of some of the games best hitters of all time. With the implementation of the DH in the NL, thats 15 more hitters that can keep playing instead of being forced out of the game

My answer is that it is in the game in the AL. Let it stay there. That's tradition. As a kid who grew up watching the game, it's all I've ever known. The two different ways of playing the game. I admit I like the deeper strategy of the NL game... and back in the day, I would have argued to remove it all together. But I now see the value of the DH... it helps star players extend their careers in some instances and it produces more offense. That's why now, I say keep it in the AL. It's fun to see it used in the AL.

Leave it alone. DH in AL. No DH in NL. It divides the leagues. It separates the leagues. It makes baseball twice as good period.

How about you make it universal DH but if a pitcher also wants to hit then sure he can pitch and be DH

Great content MLB!

One of the worst rules in baseball. 99.99% of the time a pitcher hitting is an automatic out. A dozen reasons why a pitcher should not hit. Nobody cares so there is no reason to list them. Ohtani is the only exception. And yes, I am fully aware Ohtani is in the A L.
