Tim isn't the discussion here. Pants shitting is.

On edit: Milwaukee, to be clear. And inter-league play.

Sounds great to me! (n/t) Indianademocrat91 Apr 2012 #1

Not once does that article state... El Supremo Apr 2012 #2

It's an opinion piece, Auggie Apr 2012 #3

Because that is not the point. The point is that the DH is a shit stain on the game madinmaryland Apr 2012 #9

The only shit stain is on the pitcher's pants... El Supremo Apr 2012 #10

Tell that to C.C. Sabathia ... Auggie Apr 2012 #12

He's never played in the National League. El Supremo Apr 2012 #13

How the fuck did he get at-bats? Auggie Apr 2012 #14

You've never seen Timmy after an at bat with a nice loose Hershey squirt? El Supremo Apr 2012 #15

All I can say is: two Cy Youngs Auggie Apr 2012 #19

Jeebus.. madinmaryland Apr 2012 #21

My point is that Sabathia is not intimidated at the plate Auggie Apr 2012 #23

I thought all Nugent discussion was limited to the Outdoors group? bluedigger Apr 2012 #24

Actually that's the Gungeon, where Ted Nugent is revered! madinmaryland Apr 2012 #25

Nugent is hardly revered in the Gungeon. bluedigger Apr 2012 #26

By reading everything in there, it really sounds like they revere him. madinmaryland Apr 2012 #27

What about Mike Hunt's baseball records... madinmaryland Apr 2012 #22

Pfft. Wrong answer. HuckleB Apr 2012 #30

Suppose baseball had "evolved" differently caraher Apr 2012 #4

Baseball is an amazing game of strategy. The DH rule helps a lot of fans forget this. Auggie Apr 2012 #5

Sure, there are positive elements... caraher Apr 2012 #20

I think you're on to something here. bluedigger Apr 2012 #6

Technically. there are no positions in baseball. El Supremo Apr 2012 #7

Um, isn't this whole thread about changing the rules? bluedigger Apr 2012 #8

It can still work, sort of caraher Apr 2012 #18

My position JonLP24 Apr 2012 #11

Where did the need to confuse offense with defensive positioning come into play? HuckleB Apr 2012 #32

I can think of a better solution meow2u3 Apr 2012 #16

Imagine how good Mike Leake would be if he had to take the bat at Arizona State JonLP24 Apr 2012 #35

Before 1973.... Yavin4 Apr 2012 #37

And they were requiring pitchers put in time and effort to become decent hitters before 1973? Jack Rabbit Apr 2012 #38

I'm Not Arguing That Pitchers Put In Time and Effort Before 1973 Yavin4 Apr 2012 #40

1973 is probably not a good example JonLP24 Apr 2012 #39

Better idea: Keep the rosters at 25 and kill the DH. HuckleB Apr 2012 #31
