        He has a .175/.261/.350 line for a .611 OPS

        AJ Pierzynski: .199/.226/.244 line for a .469 OPS
        Erick Aybar: .208/.267/.254 fora .571 OPS

        That's that right, Atlanta...some folks need to be DFA'd.

            A split with Texas, more then happy with that.

                The DH can only bat for the pitcher. If the pitcher hits, then there is no DH.

                    Y'know, I really like this Indians team from what i'm seeing. I'll definitely have a clearer picture after this series but first impressions tell me this is a very old school team fundamentally. Very much like the Royals except without the crazy base stealing and the starters pitch deeper into games.

                        Cubs self-destructing in the 7th at Citi Field. Baez with a really bad decision to throw that ball in the vicinity of 3B instead of getting the 2nd out at 1st.

                            Yeah...I thought Atlanta had a chance against them after we swept NYM.

                            Nope.

                            Meanwhile, Napoli has a near 35% strikeout rate and a .318 BABIP and on pace for 30 HRs. I cannot stand these all or nothing players (K or HR) as I think far too many teams place too much value in it.

                                    Actually, it says exactly that.

                                    Major League Baseball anyway. Maybe not high-school or beer league softball.

                                        Yeah, you cannot start using a DH in the middle of the game if he's not inserted in the lineup initially.

                                        Per MLB rule 5.11.a.3:

                                        It is not mandatory that a club designate a hitter for the
                                        pitcher, but failure to do so prior to the game precludes
                                        the use of a Designated Hitter for that club for that game.

                                            It just says the DH is used to hit for the pitcher, it doesn't say the DH can't hit for anyone else. There's a loophole there.


                                            P.S. I'm starting to think like Bill Belichick, and it scares the hell out of me.

                                                That's called a pinch hitter?

                                                        I'm thinking more along the lines of a designated fielder.

                                                            P.S. I'm starting to think like Bill Belichick, and it scares the hell out of me.
                                                            Huh?

                                                            If it says the DH is used for the pitcher that means it cannot be used for anyone else.

                                                            Why would teams not have used this loophole all this time instead of letting some soft hitting shortstop bat .200?

                                                            It's for the pitcher.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
