Universal Implementation of the DH

[El Supremo]

...Which makes this report from Bob Nightengale of USA Today make a lot of sense. He says that Major League Baseball is considering doing away with the American and National Leagues for the 2020 season entirely.

Like the Arizona Bubble League thing it’s just an idea being thrown out there, but to eliminate MLB leagues is something of a radical idea. As for the specifics of the idea: they’d split the 30 teams between Arizona and Florida based on the geography of their spring training sites, creating Cactus League and Grapefruit League divisions for the abbreviated season. What’s more — and what’s likely to get the most discussion — would be that the DH “would likely be universally implemented.” Which, really, if you’re expanding rosters and dealing with weird, fastracked, pitcher-health-endangering baseball to begin with, is probably a good idea.

1. NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

Over the years I have watched Bud Selig and now Rob Manfred (aka "Baby Buud&quot make baseball more regimented, less local and much, much more corporate. They do not care about the fans, they do not care about the players (thank goodness for their union). They only care about money.

It would hurt me to give up my Giants' tickets, but I might do it.

As it says in 2 Corinthians (the ones who walk into a bar):

For lo, the designated hitter is an abomination upon the earth. Those who follow such a practice put their immortal souls at risk.

Edit: I don't know how that emoji got in there. The text says it's a quote mark.

7. Just my opinion here.

I've always felt the AL should do away with the DH.
