This is a very polarizing issue. What I have noticed in real life it comes down to what the persons favorite team is, well most of the time. If their favorite team is in the National League they dislike the DH, but if their favorite team is in the American League they support the DH.
Weak arguments I hear for the DH are: pitchers suck at hitting or I want more offense, blah, blah, blah. Better arguments are that so much money is invested on pitchers and you don't want them getting hurt sliding into second bases or you would be giving 15 more position players a way to extend their career.
I'm against the DH in the National League. I'm biased I grew up watching the Cubs and Braves on WGN and TBS. National League baseball is all I know. I like to see pitchers hitting. Also MLB pitchers make more money in a couple of years than most of us make in a lifetime. There is no excuse to no be an all round baseball player. They have access to the best of everything. They have the money to have a batting cage at their house.
At the end of the day what I think doesn't matter because in 2022 the DH is coming to the NL for good. Yeah I know the NL had the DH in 2020 because of the shortened season. Next year 2021 will be the last time the NL will have pitchers hitting.
I voted to leave the DH the way is is because I could care less what some AL team does.
I'm interested what people on this forum think and their reasoning.
I would like to a in-depth study on people's opinion of the DH. I'm sure once the results were analyzed and tabulated it would show that people against the DH were racist, homophobic, Trump supporters, who were at risk for higher risk of mental illness, heart disease, and erectile dysfunction.
