I am so glad you brought up Bumgarner, a career 45 wRC+ hitter, worse than 2019 Chris Davis.

To be fair, he did have a 2 year stretch where he was an above average hitter. But we are talking about a total of 150 at bats with a sub 300 OBP.

Career 45 wRC+ and this is apparently the gold standard.

The argument against the DH that there are bad hitting positions players too is absurd.

I don’t see why we all need to fight about it. I see both sides. As a Braves fan, I have been watching the NL for 30+

I want to see more of this, not less. A beautiful part of the game.

I mean I know he's a pitcher, but that is horrible batting mechanics for a major

If he's good enough, let him DH on his off days

Now go compare him to other pitchers

For sure. And the end result is still a putrid hitter.

As someone who watches no baseball all year long outside of the playoffs...

I wonder about this also. I’m not sure where to find the data.
