Winter Meeting Topic 2- No DH

Post by Ry »

I proposed this a few seasons back. I think adding no DH to the league would be an interesting experiment to start with. Personally, I like the idea of a bit more strategy involved during the game (even though we don't actually play it). It was voted down pretty easily last time but I am willing to try.
The DH hitter just makes it easy. Using pitchers in the lineups adds some gamesmanship and something new to the game.
IF this WERE to pass implementation would need to be 2051 or 2052 even to help owners prepare.

Thanks,

Ry

The managers already make the worst choices with pens that we have no control over no matter how you set things. Also, not really in the mood to make HOF hitters worthless so bad digital managers can make worst decisions

I need 12 hitting spots in my lineup, not to reduce one.

Nine players field, the same nine should hit. DH is just the easy way out.

Or we may be afraid of bad ideas and awful hitters/managers ;)

You're literally the only one who wants this, and you've gotten crushed both times you've tried it.

Still, I applaud your effort and sticking to your beliefs.

also wouldn't help that we have like 25 players who can't play defense at any position but are elite hitters who would become useless.
