The DH is coming, for sure, so I just hope they delay it as long as possible. We're never going to go backward on the interleague thing.

I like this proposal but if I'm a fan of an AL team with a set DH like Boston or Chicago I'm gonna be pretty pissed to go to a game Ortiz or Dunn isn't playing so the pitcher can hit

I think it's the latter part. Not "fun" so much as getting NL fans more used to seeing it. It's easier to write it off as a gimmick when it's the first road trip to Minnesota in six years.

The Indians have a worse run differential than we do and are 3 games over .500

I wish we were 3 games over .500

BP's playoff odds has us at 0.4%




projects us to win 74.6 games on average, which would be 5th worst in the NL and 8th worst in the majors
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

While we all hope they make a crazy run and win the World Series, I'd settle for 82-80.

I seem to recall a Phillies player suggesting it in an article. Chad Durbin maybe

Thanks TD.

John Paciorek played 1 game in MLB as an 18 year old. Went 3 for 3 with 2 BB, 4 runs scored, and 3 RBIs. Never played another ML game due to a variety of injuries.

Zack Greinke will become first pitcher to make 3 straight starts for a team since Red Faber in 1917
