I can't take any pitcher in the NL seriously

There are shytty arguments, and there's this

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

Pitching to a pitcher is skewed statistics. Smh at pitching to them with a .134 era, most of the time they bunting for an automatic out. Add that to the number 8 hitter which is the same as the 9 hitter in the AL

It's no surprise that once a NL pitcher gets traded to the AL he gets lit up

no homo at that pitcher to pitcher line.

Most teams dh is just as bad a hitter as pitcher would be.

They all on HGH.

 

[The War Report]

Most teams dh or defensive position player is just as bad a hitter as pitcher would be.

Not in the 90's/early 00's it wasn't. That's what makes Pedro's '99 season and '00 season two of the GOAT seasons for a pitcher.

True and the Dodgers gave him away. Imagine Pedro in the nl

2014 MLB

Hitters as DH - .247/.317/.420
Hitters as P - .122/.153/.152

Yep. Almost.

as someone who likes defense in pretty much any sport there is, I prefer the NL by far. its fair in that everyone bats, cant hide your pitcher... and everyone plays defense, cant just bring paul bunyan in a wheelchair out there to hit 'by design'.

it also brings a strategic element with the double switch.

tradeoffs and choices are good for any sport imo. AL way is just basically replacing the problem (DH) instead of trying to deal with it (ie better hitting pitchers, not paying/playing good hitters that cant field starter salary, etc)
