Why do pitchers not have speed attributes?

Re: Why do pitchers not have speed attributes?

Plenty of managerial decisions to make with the DH. There isn't more or less, just different decisions to be made. I'd rather see hitters hit over a pitcher bunting, taking 3 pitches down the middle with bases loaded cause he will hit into a double play anyway, or any other situation. Pitchers are rarely allowed to pitch past 6 innings anymore so the decision to pinch hit him or not in the 7th inning isn't even a question. 99% of the time he will be pinch hit for regardless unless he's at 70 pitches by some miracle after 6ip.

And most times they go through the lineup twice and that's all they're asked to do. Usually that's only 5ip. Relievers never hit so from the 5th or 6th inning on 9 times out of 10 you're using bench players each time the #9 hole spot comes up. I'd rather use my bench players to run or hit for a struggling hitter when the game is on the line.

We can agree to disagree. I've had this conversation a million times with other baseball fans over the years. I prefer the no DH game of baseball over the game that features a DH. I always will.

I already don't think pitchers getting hurt at the plate happens frequently enough for me to personally care about it.

The DH leads to 1 additional run for every 100 innings played, so I don't really care for it from an offensive standpoint.

NL teams average between 3x to 4x as many pinch type substitutions per year than AL teams do.

I've never once seen a game featuring a DH where the opposing team walked a hitter to face a pitcher.

I've never once seen a game featuring the DH where a manager pulls a pitcher who was dealing so they could try and score and hope the pen holds on.

I value that brand of baseball more than you and others do. Neither side is right. Neither side is wrong. I don't think you're wrong, stupid, or whatever because you prefer to see the DH hit. I don't find you silly for not caring about those managerial decisions.

You simply value different things in the sport than I do. The situations I put forth above may not happen every single night, but they happen frequently enough that I don't want to see them go. I enjoy those moments significantly more when they do occur than I enjoy watching a game featuring the DH. Even if the DH is an Ortiz type, I'd rather watch a game with no DH and force Ortiz to play the field and force managers to use their bench throughout the game when needed. Other people would rather the pitchers pitch, the hitters hit, and leave it at that.

That's simply not me. You play, you hit. Thats me.
