There is a growing belief amongst NL GM’s that the DH will be instituted for NL as early as 2021. FWIW.
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating
Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about
"Hello good sir GM, may we pretty please have your throwaway centers and gords please??!? I'll suck yo'dick!"
DO YA LIKE SAUSAGE??
That sucks.
In b4 Italian Seafood kills himself
National League pitchers hit .131/.162/.166 last yearINB4 doubleswitch strategy talk
So it turns out, Italian Seafood was right an everyone can go freak themselves.
I’ve made my feeling known on this already. No need to rehash it.
True. They don't want to get it so they won't.
I don’t think MLB gets it either hence the rule change
It's been discussed before. Hard enough to stay awake through 10 pm starts, put the DH in and it will be impossible.
I checked the data provided to me by ESPN Stats & Info, focusing on 1997 to 2013 (interleague play started in 1997 and 2013 is the last full year in the data set).My first check was the simplest. I divided all games into four categories: games between AL teams, those between NL teams, interleague games hosted by AL teams (which have the DH) and interleague games hosted by NL teams (which don’t). Games between AL teams were, on average, two minutes and 15 seconds longer than games between NL teams.But that gap might be because certain AL teams — notably Boston and New York — are slower than NL teams and not because of different rules. Luckily, interleague and World Series games provide a useful test, because teams typically have played each opponent roughly the same number of times at home and away — albeit not necessarily in the same season. That should control for any effect from particular teams or matchups.So, when the same two teams played each other in an NL park or an AL park, which game was longer?On average, surprisingly, the longer game has been in the NL park — by 15 seconds. That calculation is based on more than 2,000 games each in NL and AL parks — defining interleague to include regular-season and World Series games between an AL team and an NL team.
