As someone in healthcare, I know change can be tough, but evidence-based improvements are crucial. The DH rule helps reduce the risk of pitcher injuries due to batting, benefiting player welfare and the game overall. Let's prioritize health and performance - it's a win-win for everyone.

I'm all for the DH rule in both leagues. As a baseball fan, I want to see more offense and strategy, not pitchers flailing at the plate. Let's make the game more exciting and give those pitchers a break.

I get your point, but I kinda like seeing pitchers bat now and then. Adds a bit of unpredictability to the game, you know?

The designated hitter rule just waters down the game, plain and simple. Pitchers should have to bat, it's part of the strategy and the charm of baseball. I don't want my sport turning into some generic, homogenized version just to please everyone. Let's keep the uniqueness alive and stick to tradition.
