Quote:Of all the "temporary" 2020 rule changes, it certainly seems like the universal DH is the most likely to become permanent. I'm not counting the 3-batter rule for relievers or anything else that was already announced to be a permanent rule change.Yeah that genie's not going back in the bottle. You can't create 16 new jobs then yank them away. No way the PA let's that happen. I'm ok with it but I'll miss NL ball.
A lot of it is that there seemed to be significant momentum towards a universal DH in the next CBA that will take effect in 2022. So, it seems highly unlikely that they are going to go back to no DH in the NL just for 1 year.
