    If they do go with one it will be DH for both leagues. They won't want to risk injuries to their $20 million pitchers.

    Alright, so 1 more game of 1 run or less and more than 5 innings, his ERA will be under 2. Get it done!

    like Tim Hudson :D
    Yeah, but that's on the junior circuit

    c'mon, cliffy. you're better than that.

    I'm sure you know the NL has been called the Senior Circuit since your little league was founded 25 later.


    please don't tell me you're a fan of the DH. thank god none of my heroes ever cheapened their careers with that shit (altho Bonds could have, had not the chickenshit owners blackballed him)


    X(
    Had a feeling that would touch a nerve.

    I am fine with the DH. The NL, I believe, is one of the only leagues left in the world, at any level, that has pitchers bat. It's a different game than it used to be. The pitcher striking out on three pitchers or struggling to get down a bunt brings absolutely nothing to the game.





    you must have missed Madison Bumgarner's GS from earlier in the year. how many have your various DHs hit this year (I probably shouldn't ask a question I don't know the answer to)?

    I think the strategy of when to pull the pitcher for a PH brings a lot to the game.....and for that reason (and your huge payroll) I think Joe Torre was over-rated.

    my turn to touch a nerve ;)
    Well the Yankees DH Comment touches a nerve but I do think Torre was slightly overrated. /ducks

    See that is where I disagree. The game has changed so much. Pitchers are getting paid $200 mil. Let them throw until they get beat or their arm falls off

    the money is one reason scherzer just got his first CG after nearly 200 starts. it's ridiculous how they baby these dudes when you look at how many innings guys threw in the 60s and 70s

    or Old Hoss Radboune's 678 in 1884 :))

    HAHA>When i looked at Old Hoss Radboune's career stats i ALMOST pissed myself and i was almost in tears from laughing so hard.

    Ever see the stats on this pitcher?

    You do have to think that MLB will go with ONE rule eventually? All of baseball has a DH or NO DH?



    16 losses one season. Must have been an off year...

    ^^^^LOL>But the 54-5 the next season made up for it>LOL


    I agree: MLB will go the DH way for both leagues if they decide to go by 1 rule for both leagues.

    Yeah buddy! They need to keep our heads above water until we can get some kind of help in the rotation.

    Nuno is the one I can't stand. Phelps has done ok considering. Joe left him in too long the other day, and the rookie has held his own. Kuroda needs to step up.

    Agreed. I don't think we can expect Whitley to keep it up though

    You never know. They called him up because he has talent. Wishful thinking or not, he could end up being solid.

    Yes. I like Jeter starting to hit the ball. It is insane he has 1300 or so more strikeouts than the late great Tony Gwynn.

    The new place is nice, but they changed the vibe by fanning the seats back and jacking the prices up. Used to be more intimidating and loud with more blue collar(rowdy) fans on top of the field.
