Nice work!

“We have considered that scenario,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “Obviously you’d like him to hit in your lineup, but not to have a DH in your lineup really gives you a tactical disadvantage. If he got a blister in the second inning, or if his pitch count got up and he was done after five innings, right now our bench isn’t deep enough to be able to play a National League game.”
I mentioned that when we played against COL. I know that him coming back to pitch on Sundays prevented him from pitching then, but it would be a tremendous boost in the arm to have him on the mound and in the lineup in the same game.
@Lou mentioned that teams might throw at him to get him off the mound, but I want to believe that sportsmanship would prevent teams from actually doing this.
Good point by Sosh though. Interesting to thing about either way.
