re: Should the National League adopt the designated hitter?

There are more substitutions and especially more double switches in the NL. It’s common knowledge that being a manager requires more in-game strategy in the NL.
I think that the DH in 1973 was more of a gimmick to spark attention/conversation, because the numbers have never confirmed that the game has improved noticeably because of it. The average team gets about 10 extra hits per season because of the DH rule.

Replace a .150 hitting pitcher with a .230 DH and it's like 25 hits in a season assuming two at bats a game are replaced
But games are long enough already. Do we really need more offense?
