no DH hands down, letting the pitcher hit from him self takes more strategy then the DH allowes. plus the DH is useless

I like the DH because nothing is more boring than seeing most pitchers attempt to hit.
From a strategy standpoint, not having the DH requires more. It puts the manager in positions such as whether or not to pinch-hit for his pitcher in a close game.

Even though I am a AL fan, I was always against the DH because the NL rules do involve more rhinking/strategy.
BUT, here, in my mind is the perfect answer to the DH...t's 2 fold
A. With the level/specialty of pitching today I do not want my prize ace pitcher getting hurt running out a ground out
But More importantly
B. With the specialization of pitching today (especially compared to pre-DH ers) including closers, set-up, left-handed specialists, etc etc...the offense needs a counter balance, i.e. a specialized, or designated, hitter

For more strategy I would say no DH or the National League because chances are you're going to want to pinch hit for the pitcher eventually.

DH! Why would anybody want to watch a pitcher hit? Hell.. I wouldn't want my pitchers arms to get injured while he's batting or running the bases. I think DH is perfect for an old out of shape power hitter lol. Example.. David Ortiz, Frank Thomas..

no DH. baseball the way baseball was meant to be played. NL managers have to think about when to put in relievers based on when the pitcher comes to bat, double-switches, bunt, not to bunt, swinging bunt, have the runner moving, or have the pitcher stand there and hack at three pitches. most DHs usually are a past his prime player who would be a liability as a fielder drawing an inflated paycheck.

No DH. It is the way baseball should be played. Let the pitcher have a bat it makes the game more exciting.

DH is better, who wants to see the pitcher bat. But NL has more strategy, as in how to get someone else to bat for the lame pitcher.

Well DH means more homeruns and more offense.DH uses lesser strategy because seeing a pitcher bat is actually fun and involves skills.I like offense so I will say DH.But seeing pitchers take a hack is cool.
