Why pinch hit a pitcher for a pitcher in the first place?
It's early. Probably didn't want to waste a position player.
I don't get this. A pinch hitter will very rarely stay in the game or get a 2nd at bat. So, a run in the 5th inning is the same as a run in the 9th.
Stop being so knee jerk. So JZ has a bad start after coming off of TJ surgery and you call him awful?Stammen is going to be solid out of the pen.
Exactly. There were 2 outs with nobody on base, early in the game. You don't waste a bench player in that situation. With a runner on second, yeah, then you would.
My point is what if the bench player gets a hit? We get two runs that inning at least. So that extra run in the 9th inning wouldn't be there anyway. A run is a run is a run. Makes no difference when it is scored.
Wait, what? How do we get 2 runs? Bases were empty with 2 outs already, right?
He's a thin skinned eagle.
No, Marquis led off that inning.
Do you run Bernie here? Pudge is just waiting to hit into a DP.
