In Memoriam to Pitchers Batting

Featured Replies

On the plus side, our over weight 3rd string catcher could yield us a bullpen arm now.

I am so sad we won't get to watch .136 batters anymore...  

 

Pitchers batting was the dumbest thing ever

I'm sure our 2B situation can help remedy that at some point this year.

At one point they were actually good hitters.

This is not that point.

National league fans will have to figure out another time to take a piss and buy a beer.

All of us here. It's the NL snobs that are mourning the loss of those "strategic moves".

No I think there is a few holdouts in our ranks that prefer a .083 hitter at the 9 spot 

 

they know who they are

I can never enjoy this clip as much as I should because of the fact the Sox traded for Shields like a week after he gave up a HR to Colon.

Fun trivia answer -- last pitcher to bat (at least in the pre-universal DH era)?  Kendall Graveman

I'm drinking so many salty tears right now from friends who were still holding out hope that the DH would actually be abolished.

Next step, full platoon. 

Oh Dylan Cease, what could have been.  You will always be a hitting legend.

Never forget that Lance Lynn singlehandedly won us a game against Milwaukee with his bat and his arm. 

Just holy hellfire -- i am so grateful to have some good news, and am downright ebullient about universal DH. 

Fun idea:

Just because there's a DH available,

  1. Doesn't mean that you HAVE to have a DH
  2. Doesn't meant hat you have to use the DH on the pitcher's spot

...right?

So we could theoretically have Cease pitching and batting 9th and use the DH on Mendick (or whoever is manning 2B).

I know people who pretend to enjoy watching pitchers hit and I simply never believed them.
