It is very typical when someone tries so hard to force their argument, even if it is without merit, that they eventually turn to insults.
My opinions come from following baseball for over 50 years. I have wrote graduate level papers on baseball strategy, computer software for statistics tracking, etc.
I don't consider myself an expert, but I also don't consider myself an idiot.
I was a pitcher through college level competition. I enjoy a good pitching dual, but I also want a fair competition. With a vast majority of pitchers throughout baseball history, this has not been fair. Yes there are exceptions; for every Catfish Hunter there are 100 who have no business standing at the plate against major league pitchers.
The DH has been used in most baseball leagues for over 40 years now and no matter how much some people stomp their feet and throw fits it is not going to change. Eventually all of baseball will use the DH as another important position, not some "over-the-hill-fat-ass-fat-contract guys who hide in the dugout for virtually the entire game, are really not that popular and fans would prefer to see them go". In actuality, professional DH players are very popular with their respective teams.
