FishFan95 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) It might still happen. I have to say, I personally don't like the DH, but I agree that it would be beneficial to the team as it would allow us to get Aguilar and Coop in every day.

fanofthefish Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Given last season with so many interleague games it made sense, ultimately I'd like to see it go. either way it should be the same in each league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure a reporter was just looking for a quote, not tipping their hand regarding negotiations. I think we can expect there's no DH. It's pretty late for NL teams to be shifting their rosters around. Possible DHs have already been optioned or released. Owners would have a fit.

rmc523 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I think at this point, there certainly won't be one for the NL in 2021 (though with Manfred in charge, who knows)..... But, while I like NL play, I think it's time for the DH to come to the NL as well. I love the occasional big pitcher hit, but the black hole spot is old. Not to mention with the pitching rule changes (facing X number of batters, etc), as well as the ever increasing price of pitchers, there's no need for them to potentially get hurt batting or running the bases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Of course adding the DH now would benefit the Marlins but I'd imagine most NL teams structured their rosters not expecting a DH so it would be pretty fucked up to agree to it the day before opening day.

FishFan95 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 It's hard to imagine that they won't implement it by at least next season, but I wonder if MLB video games will still give you the option to have the pitcher hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 It'll for sure happen with the next CBA. Does that expire after this season or next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Didn't they institute the DH and expanded playoffs like the night before opening day last year, though? It'd be incredibly dumb to implement the DH now. Expanded playoffs, sure, but not the DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 The fact there is no DH this year is the stupidest thing out there. Owners holding it over the players head as some grand bargaining chip when they want it just as badly was a horrible mis fire. Players rightfully called them on that bullshit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
