With the recent injuries to Adam Wainwright and Max Scherzer during at-bats, do you think this will revive the discussion about bringing the designated hitter rule to the National League to the point where it might actually be considered? If the decision is up to the owners, I can't understand why they would want/allow their multimillion-dollar pitchers to be put at risk by having to hit. I have no issue with the DH itself, and based on the recent injuries, would support it coming to the NL. I just wish the rest of the NL would realize the risk.

Yes, there will be plenty of discussion, but I don't see the NL taking a knee-jerk reaction and changing the rules, and neither does Maddon.
