fine to go back out on the mound and keep pitching.

Also, the strategy argument is overrated. The coach normally only has to make one decision, when to pinch hit for the starter. The starter will very often bat for himself until the fifth or sixth inning and then be replaced. After that just about every pitcher that comes to bat is replaced if there's a bat on the bench. The added strategy is minimal and often non-existent in games.

Pitchers are bad hitters and replacing them with a guy that mashes the ball is more enjoyable to watch.

Everyone likes the one they grew up with. To me the DH, you might as well replace the game with a home run derby, which is not more enjoyable to watch -- nm - rollo Jul 9, 05:57 1
- I grew up with both. We have both an AL and NL team here and my entire immediate family are Mets fans. I pitched in HS and college. I want a universal DH. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 9, 06:05
