A lot of us like the strategy involved in batting the pitcher. Instead of just sending out your bats and taking out the pitcher when he gets tired, do I PH for him here to get the run home even though he's pitching a good game? Pitcher's spot is on deck with 2 outs and we'd like him to lead off the next inning, so pitch the 8 spot.

Oh, I understand all of that and the strategy that goes along with it. It's an interesting aspect for sure.

Yes, the DH leads to more runs and more "exciting" baseball

I just think this trumps all that.

but managing around the pitcher in the 9 spot is a big part of the game IMO.

Respectable opinion that many share. It's neither right nor wrong. I just would prefer the DH in both leagues. That's mine.

I will say that I think it's dumb that each league does it's own thing. Either do one or the other.

But I guess that's how baseball is. Each park has it's own dimensions, tall wall, tiny or huge foul ground. Guess it won't ever change.
