jasonxctf Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 In today's situation with abreu, could Robin have switched abreu with laroche at 1b? Thus making abreu the DH and then pinch hitting for the DH at his next at bat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 No since the pitcher has to take the dh spot then if Laroche comes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 You can replace the DH with a guy from the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 QUOTE (oldsox @ May 30, 2015 -> 10:50 AM) You can replace the DH with a guy from the bench. If the DH takes the field, the pitcher takes his spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasttriptotulsa Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 In case there is anybody who is unaware of this rule or doesn't understand it, here is a link to the official MLB rule book http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/offic...es/batter_6.jsp Under rule 6.10, section (b) "The Designated Hitter may be used defensively, continuing to bat in the same position in the batting order, but the pitcher must then bat in the place of the substituted defensive player, unless more than one substitution is made, and the manager then must designate their spots in the batting order."
