    He has to be hurt right. 40 million to pinch hit for him. No way they would do that is there?

    Dude gets a base at as a DH and you pinch hit for him? Don't you lose your "pinch hitter" advantage then? If the game goes extra does the pitcher then have the bat if it comes back around? I am not sure what this is about.

    Well, you're already excluded due to him already going 7. And because of Kenny Lofton.

    No. Kemp is now the DH.

    You lose that advantage if the DH takes the field.

    No you keep DH. Only lose DH if you move the DH to the field.

    I'm going to guess this was the plan before the game even started.

    Very smart of Hinch to put Marisnick in for offense. :cool:

    Looking at Gurriel's box scores... they had done this with him a good bit in the minors. No idea why.

    Bunting with 2 outs and no one on. Un freakin believable. That's on AJ. How has he not been ordered not to bunt? would love to see his avg this year when bunting for hits. Really think it's .000
