Looks like the pandemic is going to make the National League adopt the DH.

Personally, I like the DH. In my opinion the strategy argument of the pitcher hitting is way overblown. The National League rules force the manager to make changes. The DH makes the strategy more difficult because its not dictated by the pitcher's spot hitting or not. These days with 5 and 6 innings being the max, the pitcher was only going to get up twice anyway. I've watched way too many early inning rallies get killed because they only pitched to 7 batters, walking the 8th place hitter to get to a .100 hitting pitcher.
