I don't understand the focus on the bullpen not being overworked as opposed to the starting pitchers being overworked. Starters make more money for a reason.Ike Hammett wrote: ↑25 Dec 2025 15:26 pmThe DH was a huge advantage to the AL in interleage play. They get big hitters and the NL has utility players. Their bullpens don't get worked as much as they don't pinch hit or have double switches to account for a weak hitting pitcher. The game is more and is more exciting with more offense. Is that even debatable at this point? Not sure if it was the right call but things need to be even. AL was better and more liked, the NL was at a disadvantage and wasn't winning that battle neither on the field or with the fans.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑25 Dec 2025 15:06 pm I would assert the shallowest fans in baseball wanted the DH and the best fans refuse to watch it.
