Can you picture any manger now trotting out to the mound and telling Gibson, Drysdale, Marichal, Spahn and any one of many, many pitchers that they are out now because they are at 100 or so pitches.
I think not.
As much as I still enjoy the game of baseball, the pitch counts and the DH are still awful and should not be a part of the game. I am glad that I mostly watch games where there is no DH.
