Brewers: It’s Time To Bring The Designated Hitter To The NL

As far as thoughts on the “DH in the NL” debate, a few years ago, I was against that idea wholeheartedly. I hated the idea of bringing the DH to both leagues, completely eliminating the potential of pitchers getting the chance to hit. I was a baseball purist, you could say (although I was still okay with bat flips and such).

I felt that pitchers were athletes too, and they were playing the game just as much as the other guys on the field and belonged in the lineup.

In the past few years, however, I’ve done a complete 180 degree turn on the subject.
