MY GOD HE KILLED HIM. HE STRUCK OUT ON 3 PITCHES. 

 

[Mexi]

I understand the logic of batting the pitcher 8th, but I don't think it's overly smart or overly dumb. It's just a thing.

over the course of the year it gives the pitcher more at bats than a position player
Also leads to fewer innings from a pitcher cause his spot comes up quicker later in the game

Its overmanaging

anyone else play beat the streak?

That difference is so marginal. The other way to look at it is keeping stronger hitters closer to the top of the line up (as having an actual hitter and not a pitcher turning it over to the top of the lineup). Again, its not significant either way.

Its not marginal

Fuck tradition. NL needs a DH

it really does. Pitchers hitting is useless.

youre telling me

I hate it

Especially when we got alex guerrero, andre ethier, justin turner and scott van slyke on the bench

I used to be in favor of pitchers hitting because it makes managerial decisions more essential, but now Ive switched. The league is too pitcher friendly now so we need a bit more offense. Im for the DH in the NL.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'm not in favor just because I love the strategy in the NL

 

[elcheato]

What strategy? Dude either bunts or strikesout. If you're late in the game and the pitcher isn't dominating, you pinch hit. These managers aren't exactly MIT grads, they don't do much.

Double switches and such

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Ubaldo just got thrown out of a game where he hadnt given up a hit for hitting Sandoval unintentionally with no prior warning or any reason to think it was on purpose.

Fucking typical Red Sox bullshit

 

[elcheato]

I'm missing Klubers start so i can't do my perfect game countdown right, Damn it

 

[snipezo]

AROD is an animal.

 

[elcheato]

 

[elcheato]

Trout homers again. Who does he think he is? A-Rod? 

 

[footballplaya52]

Adrian gets me the first inning dub to keep my streak going

 

[snipezo]

I used to hate AROD but I just love how his presence just trolls fans. Fuck them haters boi. 

 

[elcheato]

Have you accepted A-Rod into your life as your lord and savior?
 
I have, and it's great!
