Hendricks velocity has not changed much tonight, but his location has been pretty darn good with the exception of that miss to Hanley....

He is locating his pitches much better last start and tonight as well.

Look who led off the inning with another strikeout.

This would've been a good time for a night off . Don't know why he didn't rest him against a tough lefty.

Totally agree.

I'm fine with Joe seeing what he can do on a national game rather than waiting until he's "forced" to find out. They're going back to NL format tomorrow anyway so that's an entirely better time to 'rest' him, I would say.

Why not give him a two day so called mental break to observe and chill a bit. Screw the AL/NL shit the schedule is what it is. A break is needed from time to time especially for a young player putting pressure on himself.

Because he's a young professional ballplayer who doesn't need two days off at the end of April for chirssakes.

Jon Jay is a good player. Until you see a guy play a bit you only know what you have a small sample size of he is way better than I thought he was. Nice pickup for this team. I am becoming a big supporter of him playing more.

Hmmmm. If you are the road team you could bat a bench guy first as the pitcher and then remove him for the actual pitcher.

No ... once you eliminate the DH in favor of a pitcher batting, regardless of whether or not he really is a pitcher, you can't have a DH the rest of the game.

I'm talking an nl game. You start szczur as your pitcher and bat him leadoff and then replace him after the ab for the actual pitcher.

I can't find anything even addressing the issue, whether from the rules or from internet cheap talk.

I know it can be done w/ position players ... SS Mark Belanger of the 70s Orioles is a good example of hiding a defensive player's awful bat for a bit.

I feel if Contreas didn't go out to talk to Strop every other pitch he would have K'd the batter instead of throwing 2 Wild ones.

1-2 count on Ramirez and he bounces 2 pitches in then walks him anyway. Not the best of strategies there.
