Also I root for the Cardinals because they're the ones I grew up rooting for. Just like the Blues in the NHL.
Cubs are gonna start getting better. It might not be this year, but the next few years, the Pirates, Reds, Brewers, and the Redbirds will have to approach this team more cautiously than anyone else.
I can say that with the video game experience I have with MLB the show that managing a game without a DH is a lot more complicated than managing one with a DH.
Why does the designated hitter exist anyway? Is there some thought process that it creates more exciting offensively focused games?
