Hitting Mechanics Only Get You So Far

Does the DH make the AL better than the NL?

Here’s something for all you baseball “experts” to consider. The AL has dominated the NL in recent years both in the All Star game and the World Series. The biggest reason for this, I believe, is pitching, which, as everybody knows usually wins out over good hitting, especially in a short series of five or seven games. So, here’s my question: Do you think that over the years the AL has developed better pitchers because of the DH? I think that the AL pitchers are simply tougher because they’ve become conditioned to face nine hitters day in and day out whereas NL pitchers only face eight hitters in a typical ballgame. Guess you could say that NL pitchers have possibly grown a little “soft” due to the fact that they have an easier go of it in general over the course of a 162 game schedule. Let me know what you think of this philosophy. I’d be interested to know. Thanks.
C’mon, where are all you baseball people? Sleeping, or what?

Yeah I think it makes it harder for the AL pitchers to get though an inning. Who would you rather face Ortiz or Clemens when it come to batting. I think you might be right cause the AL has been dominate over the years in pitching, Just ask Matt Clement who hasnt caught up to the AL STYLE in 3 years.
