Oh, I do. He will do well. But there's 0.0% chance Cards win both games at the Fenway fun house.
Wednesday's game is just an exhibition. Chance for Wacha to make a bid for a nice contract. Hope the Cards lock him down.
AL in 20 years: DH for every position.
Also kids in school aspiring to be a professional batter.
I see nothing wrong with that, lets pitchers not waste anytime at all thinking about hitting.
But yes, the Red Sox usually have the most embarrassing pitching staff at the plate, I won't dispute that.

Yeah. It's just hitting after all, an afterthought in baseball.
You just described school in 2013. There is no such thing as not having a DH at any instructional or professional level...except the NL.
Amen

DH will come to the NL within five years. It has no chance of living past the next collective bargaining agreement now that interleague play is year-round. More money for aging players, more offense, less whiny AL fans complaining about fogey old NL fans.
Edit - I have no idea when the next CB is due anyway.

Because position players should have the right to field? Not that complicated.
Yeah, if it's so pure, then why use a DH in the AL ballpark? No one's stopping you from sending your pitcher out to bat.
This argument is dumb.
And DH for every position is not? Get out of here.
No reason to put yourself at a disadvantage just because of a crappy rule system.
Right to field? Sounds like a musty old tradition standing in the way of the nonstop rallies and excitement that the three squad model would provide.
That's a 6/10 non-answer at best
So you agree it's a disadvantage letting your pitcher bat.
Lol someone got some feels.
Yes, when playing under rules that allow a DH. That doesn't make the DH any less stupid.
It's also a disadvantage letting Drew bat instead of someone better. Why not DHs all around? Then nothing but advantages for everybody.
Hell, throw in steroids and aluminum bats too. Because EXCITEMENT!
There's a difference between a SS that play's everyday, takes BP everyday and a Pitcher who plays every 5.
The DH debate again? Can't NL fans just accept that the NL style of automatic outs is a dying breed? No on wants to watch pitchers who are paid to pitch and field their position try to hit and fail miserably.
The day will come when the DH enters the NL and you all will love it.

You realize there are a lot less shortstops that can't hit than pitchers, right?
There's also a difference between Drew, who can't hit, and someone on the bench who can. Why is one difference more important than the other? Think of how many rallies would survive, rather than being tragically killed by poor-hitting shortstops.
Most SS can hit, hell Drew is normally a better hitter then this.
Then let them hit. But the option to DH should be there, because we need excitement, endless rallies, and 5 hour games.
All true but the last part. Hate hate hate, hate hate hate hate.
I bet you hated the Wild Card too once upon a time, and we should just got back to 4 playoff teams.
4? Two too many. One series to rule them all.

Watching the replay of that Ross double...Holiday runs like he's got a shit in his pants. How much longer can he realistically butcher the OF? Is he considered a bad defender?
No, sounds like neither of you have an argument. Also, who are you two anyway?
He is terrible. I'm not looking at numbers, but he is probably the easily the worst fielder if we are basing it off salary.
"Right to field" is an argument?
2/10 non-answer.
Sure. The DH rule is pretty fair to people with a poor mindset. Ask Hipster Manager.
The DH rule is fair in an all-DH environment, I'm not really sure that's what's being discussed here. I think the discussion is revolving around whether or not one position should be exempt from playing baseball, ethically.
No. The discussion at the moment is a couple trolls with nothing valid to add to the topic.
Yanks took his advice and won in 4 the next time around. Costanza motivated them.
Nothing as valid as the "right to field"? LOL
