Would anyone oppose having the DH in the NL? Pitchers hitting in this league is dumb and it would open up opportunities for some bench players in this league.. thoughts?

Yeah, it's not authentic, but I'm on board with it. The only argument I am sympathetic too is that it makes the leagues unique, but it doesn't sway me personally.

Either both leagues should have it or both shouldn't. I've never liked that one had a DH and the other didn't. I'm cool with whatever though.

I say add it. It can only help with cash spending since you have to pay for one more guy that can hit.

Saying it is not "authentic" as a reason to not adapt is pretty short sighted. This league is 25 years ahead of where we are in real life. Public opinion already supports DH in both leagues. Owners are now starting to get vocal both ways about it. We will see it very soon. Especially with there literally being an interleague series happening at every point during the season.
