I'll never understand the people in favor of pitchers hitting

Comedic relief.

He's quickly becoming my favorite player. I don't like him playing the OF too much. But he's going to be a great hitter for a long time. 

I think we'd all rather he play at DH/1B, but him suddenly turning himself into a league average LF (per advanced metrics that I can find / understand) was a necessary evil that saved the season.

Intentional walk to get to the pitcher. That exciting NL strategy zzzzzzzzz

Lance Lynn grand slam coming right up ?

Was there any talk after the game of f seby bunting on his own yesterday with 2 strikes?

 

lynn needs to lean into one here and just take one in the ass again.

Managers forced to play chess with pitchers batting.

Given the construction of this roster, I'd much rather see Vaughn in the OF. He's a significantly more valuable player if he can handle LF/RF at passable effectiveness like we've seen so far.

I'm still waiting to hear about why Katz pulled Tepera last week

Easy there!

That bs strike 3 call on Eloy prevented a big inning.

It didn't seem like anyone even asked about that in the post game Zoom which is bizarre

Strategy!!

He probably could have stolen 2nd in the first when Engel went. 

They mentioned both times. Lucky he wasn’t gunned out at home. 

Are Len and Stone at Wrigley this weekend, or is Jerry Reinsdorf still broke?

ah yes but have you ever heard of...the double switch?? genius move that takes a master tactician to execute

There is your 2 runs big fella....make them be enough Lance.

I'm still in favor of having a defense lineup and an offensive lineup. Total DH. 

Universal DH can't come too soon

Billy Hamilton would certainly be in favor. He'd get paid a whole lot more.

Just like football. 

I know history and blah blah blah, but why in the hell would anyone want to continue to have Pitchers bat?  You are paid to pitch and should have to go through a lineup of 9 supposedly major league hitters.  I hate NL baseball almost as much as Manfred extra inning ball.

 

That 2 seamer from Lance o my god
