Dusty looks like he's in a memory care unit.

This goes back to wtf did Dusty put Maton in when your 4 best relievers haven't pitched in 4 days?

Did they just say lefties hit .053 against this guy while righties bat .318?
So yeah...Let's keep JJ up there and not PH him for a righty.
Sounds about right.
to be fair to you, Dusty probably forgot it, toobearkatag15 said:my mistake... I guess the rule changed this year. You can pinch hit for the DH and the pinch hitter becomes the DH going forward.redline248 said:Is that still a rule? Or maybe injury allows a switch without penalty?bearkatag15 said:well we'd lose the DH in a tie game in the 8th inning. I doubt Dusty wanted to risk thatAg_07 said:

That really a rule? You can't PH a DH?
What happens? The pitcher has to bat in the spot next?
in further defense of Maton, he was facing Walsh, Rengifo and Stassi. 2 lefties, which Maton has better numbers vs than righties, and a Mendoza line-hitting catcher. He just needs to make a better throw to 2B and we're fine.Farmer1906 said:superaggie73 said:

So you can use some tomorrow without going back to back.
If Maton can't be trusted with a 4 run lead in the 7th then he probably shouldn't be on the roster.
I stepped away at 5-1 and that was my first thought as well. BlahFarmer1906 said:
