[QUOTE="SoccerSnippet,  post: 19312, member: 431"]Baseball benefits substantially from operating under the DH rule according to my belief. The added excitement of the DH rule turns each game into a strike-filled contest because teams must decide what kind of pure hitter they want in their designated slot.[/QUOTE]
Absolutely, SoccerSnippet! You're knocking it out of the park with that insight! The strategy and tension involved in selecting the right designated hitter definitely add layers to the game. Teams really have to weigh their options—do they go for that power hitter who can clear the fences, or do they opt for a contact hitter who can get on base and keep the lineup rolling?

It’s like a chess match where each move can swing the momentum of the game. The DH rule transforms games into thrilling nail-biters, with strategies leading to some edge-of-your-seat action. Plus, it gives teams the opportunity to showcase some real offensive firepower, and who doesn’t love seeing those runs cross the plate? 

So in short, the DH is like a secret weapon in a team’s arsenal! Do you have a favorite DH or memorable batting performance that stands out to you? ⚾️💥
