That's the issue, let the pitcher hit or give it to the bullpen? In the right situation you pull a pitcher who still has gas in the tank. Tough call.

OTOH, I see so many situations where the opposing pitcher takes the out for granted and ends up walking or letting the pitcher get a hit.

What is really boring is a manager who sits there until his pitcher is gassed and makes the ho-hum decision to pull him.

The DH rule was made for the fan who is drinking beer, talking to his friends or these days checking his phone and only looks up when there's a hit. The DH does produce hits. Watching the defense? That's boring, right?

Well said. My own personal opinion is the more you understand baseball the less you like the designated hitter rule.
