If MLB goes NL-DH, Will DD ....
-
It would have to be bargained in the agreement this offseason. Most likely a work stoppage coming over all the issues. Hopefully it gets back to operations though before the normal start of next season. If the DH is negotiated and the season starts on time, around the time TS 22 comes out, then I would imagine they would have DH in the game. But if the talks linger on and TS 22 is already developed, they may not be able to adjust the game once it is final. So we might get stuck with the old rules for one more year. Unless they develop a way to change it after release through a patch or something, but that sounds tough.

The DH in the AL and the no DH in the NL is what separates the two leagues, MLB has done a good job in taking the strategy out of the game. The pitch to 3 batter rule, the runner on 2nd in extra innings (is being removed). Trying to speed up a game that is not meant to have a time limit. Talking about taking away the shift instead of hitters learning to hit the other away and take advantage. Putting a time clock on a pitcher is not Baseball

An Update patch can easily make DD played with DH if TS22 is completed before the NL-DH is made official.

So many talks that Manfred will Officially bring the DH to the NL next year 2022, if that does become the new norm or the NL.
Will SDS make ON-Line Play with DH now too ???
I think they would because now both AL & NL are using DH. I feel this would be awesome for any ON-Line Play (Ranked, Events & BR) & even Off-Line play (Moments, Missions, Conquest & Vs PC) because it takes a way that 95% guaranteed out with the pitcher or forcing your hand to take out your starter if his at bat is at a very crucial point. Our bench could be used more for defensive subs for the late Innings. Or even for situational strategic pinch hitting. You may want or need to pinch hit to go Righty/Lefty or Lefty/Righty, or need someone who has a better chance to get a hit or just looking to go yard. Etc.
What Impact you feel this will have?
I bet you're happy you asked this very relevant question, my friend.
What you didn't know was that it would be critiqued by a group of little girls.Yes, the show will implement the universal DH, taking out one of the toughest strategy calls in the game, and making MLB manager the easiest job on Earth.
The boldface. I would write every one of my future posts in boldface because I just don't like being told what to do.
Keyboard bullies/tough guys are the lowest rung on the social scale, so we must be vigilant!
Protect the boldface against little girl attacks!!! -
ALL I’m SAYING is that GRAMMATICALLY these BOLD LETTERS ruin your tone and make it seem like your SCREAMING every other word. I understand using it for the MAIN POINTS but your just emphasizing buzz words at this point like a YouTube title. This would be like if demise went NON PCI HOME RUN WHIFFLE BALL SEVER CITY
I felt like adding this
OVERALL it’s not a huge deal and some people are over reacting. But being someone who knows a lot about tone in writing this just feels like some weird ad and whenever I see the BOLD I hear the vine boom so I guess it’s not all bad. But it’s weird, at least to me. -

I dont understand what the issue is with the Bold? Does it REALLY bother you THAT much to give the Topic creator a hard time and not even answer the question?
Thank you MadDog. Or should I say "THANK YOU" .... Lol
I just hate bullies, and INTERNET bullies especially. Would these people say this kind of stuff to our faces? I highly doubt it.
When you’re able to talk with me face to face and include bold words, we’ll discuss
Lmao! Like people who make quotation marks with there hands while talking
Lol exactly

I 100% would love a universal DH in the show. Let me use 9 actual hitters. Plus it would eliminate the absolute idiocy in moments where you're playing an AL team in an AL ballpark and the pitcher is hitting for some reason

DH is the worst thing to happen to baseball. American league is too afraid to mess up their manicures. NL better not ever go to DH, you grow up playing baseball, everyone hits. This whole thought process to have someone who can't play defense to be able to make a team because they are worried a pitcher...might get hit. I want to see the stats for how many pitchers get hurt batting a year compared to total AB.

Once you get out of high school pitchers don't hit, there are a few that do, but kinda rare.

At least the OP is someone who is savvy enough to use the features in this forum!
God knows a lot of you don't use the edit function. The misspells here are incredible sometimes.

I'm the one responsible for this mess -- poster #2. Ugh. Apologies.
He did edit the original post, which had a slew of bolded words in it. But whatever. It's not that big of a deal.
And both tone and capitalization have little or nothing to do with grammar as such. AP English teacher here. Can we drop this?

Hate the DH but it seems inevitable. Sadly.

There's nothing more boring than watching an inept pitcher try to hit or lay down a sac bunt. Give me a DH who is a real hitter. Has nothing to do with pitchers getting injured while batting, it's about entertainment value.

That is a very "casual" baseball fan statement. But you are probably in the majority. These days it is all about entertainment value. How many more people can we get to watch more for the commercials than the actual game. Yet you have idiots out there that want to get rid of one of the coolest things in sports and that is the Braves tomahawk chant. As an Astro fan hearing the Braves fans in game 6 trying to start up the chant, and someone obviously brought an official whistle, and then the Astros fans trying to drown it out with boos was awesome! AS long as PC culture is out there, nothing will be fun.

There’s nothing more entertaining in baseball than a pitcher hitting a home run or two in a game.
Back in 16 Syndergaard hit two dingers in a game and the second one was after he showed bunt twice in the AB. That’s entertainment.

This is the reason small ball is gone. Learning how to bunt and do it well was a great part of the game. Moving that runner into scoring position so the lead off hitter could try to knock him in. It's a game of chess, now people want a game of checkers. They want to see fast quick runs. I want to see well thought out, battle hardened, earned runs.
Plus, like these other two said...when a pitcher hits a HR. Nothing better in all of baseball.
-
We have enough hitters in the lineup who can hit HRs. We still need small ball strategy and putting a DH in takes that away. Not every player needs to be able to hit a ball 500 feet.
