Prefer DH or No DH in Online Leagues

kq76 · 10-23-2004, 09:18 PM

If there was a league you wanted to join and the 2 open teams were equal in every way except one played in a league with the DH and the other did not, which team would you want? And would your reason be more because you prefer that type of baseball or is it because of the type of management that it would require?

whats the differnce between "type of baseball" and "type of management"? or maybe you could give me an example of each?

my vote will be no DH either way, just unsure of which option.

For instance, I prefer watching no DH baseball. I prefer watching runs being manufactured rather than just watching balls being hit out of the park. I prefer less runs as it makes each one more valuable. However, in managing an online league team you have a lot more flexibility in having a DH. Despite that, I think I still prefer managing a no DH team because it's more challenging, but more importantly because it just seems how baseball should be played. I'd be a "No DH - type of baseball", but I could see how others could be one of the other three.

I prefer no DH generally. However, in this Case I wouldn't consider it.

I like to watch non-dh baseball.

Doesnt really matter in OOTP, I like having the DH.. fits my style of GMing well.

The DH is the most despicable thing in the universe in my opinion. The DH is of Satan, by Satan, and for Satan.

If I were able to manage each batter myself (as in a solo league) I prefer no-DH and the managerial decisions that need to be made.

However, in online leagues, I actually prefer the DH since I'm not 100% happy with the way the game handles subtitutions, double-switches, etc.

Non-DH. I feel I have less of a safety net offensively without the DH (can't move the guy who loses lots of fielding ratings or has always been poor defensively to DH) and I have to make harder decisions. Do I go with the great hitting but poor defensive player or the more balanced guy? Things like that.

Baseball-wise, I prefer watching non-DH games as well

I prefer non-DH as I think it adds more options to manage. However, in an online league the games are simed, and the computer sucks at managing. So in online league I prefer the DH.
