You just did! That's it - where's that abuse button ?
I predict a cameo appearance by Mr. Bartman.
He notado.
Well (and I have to revise--I'M #1 in the sister list), so I was the one who had "the job." Working with sister #3, we almost convinced sister #2 she was adopted because she didn't look like us (we look like Dad, she looks like Mom). We would've succeeded, too, if she hadn't gone whining to our parents about it. It was perfect revenge, though, for sister #2 playfully shoving me against the car door & me falling out of the car....my last memory was her waving me buh-bye as they drove off without me (they came back & got me a few minutes later--that was a five-stitcher).
And we had to share clothes. And bedrooms.
Off to walk the dog before the game starts.
There's a wall; just no Green Monster. ;-)
I'm hoping that at least one of this year's Yanks earns that middle name tonight. .....Bernie "F-'in" Williams, Derek "F-in" Jeter, ....even Enrique "F-in" Wilson.
The all sound good :)
It's the name of a porn movie that takes place in Wyoming in 1880...
The only way to pinch-hit for a player is to use someone off the bench. A starting pitcher is not permitted to bat in the game unless listed in the lineup at the start of the game. A relief pitcher can only bat in the game if he first pinch-hits for a position player (or the DH) and then takes the mound.
A pitcher who is not involved in the game can actually be placed in the starting lineup as a DH. I seem to remember the Yankees doing this once with Rick Rhoden back in the 1980s -- they had a string of injuries, and since he had been a decent hitter in the National League and they were facing a pitcher against whom he had had some success in the past, the manager (Billy Martin?) used him as the DH.
Using a pitcher as a DH like this is extremely rare, but at one time it wasn't always so -- the "Earl Weaver Rule" changed all that. Anyone who knows what the "Earl Weaver Rule" was should stand up and take a bow -- you really know your baseball!
That's when the Yankees take it up the Posada
Interesting. I never knew that rule. I always thought that if there was an American League pitcher that could hit (I know, hypothetical question), that it would be acceptable to have him DH while pitching.
Since you seem to know the rules, how about this scenario that I never get a good answer on: Let's say that the Red Sox have a very agile outfielder (another hypothetical), the bases are loaded with nobody out, and a ball is driven deep, deep to center field. This outfielder takes a flying leap over the Yankee bullpen fence, smashes into Mariano Rivera and Jose Contreras, knocking them over like bowling pins, and makes an over-the-shoulder catch and robs the Yankees of a grand slam while still in the Yankee bullpen! This outfielder then has the presence of mind to fire the ball to the second baseman who then fires the ball to the first baseman FOR A TRIPLE PLAY! Remember, the Yankee runners are probably all the way to home plate by now, assuming it was a home run because the ball went into the bullpen.
Whenever I bring this scenario up to somebody, they usually say that this is an illegal play because once the player is out of the field of play, it is an automatic home run. But I say that if this is the case, then why do we often see catchers and first or third basemen diving into the crowd to catch a foul ball? If that counts as an out, then why can't a center fielder climbing (or jumping) into the bullpen make an out as well?
