ChiSoxFanMike Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Samardzija vs Price It should be a good game if Samardzija has his good stuff going. Does anyone know why there has been so many day games to start the season? I almost always miss day games during the week for one reason or another. Go Sox!

fathom Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Doesn't seem like LaRoche will have much of a chance against Price. Against nasty lefties like Price, I wouldn't mind Flowers/Soto both being in the lineup at C/DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the DH just moves to catcher and your pitcher has to hit the rest of the game. Not really that big of a deal for one game in the rare instance that the starting catcher would get hurt.

It's a rare instance, but it's clear that teams are unwilling to take this chance. It's very rare that a team uses a catcher as a DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the starter gets hurt, big deal you just have to play NL ball for a few innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 And I've always though it was kind of stupid that teams are unwilling to do it. If your backup catcher is the best option at DH, play him. If the starter gets hurt, big deal you just have to play NL ball for a few innings. If the manager isn't bright enough to call of a bunt with a two-strike count, he's not going to get this either.

Probably, but it would be unjust IMO. How many times throughout the entire year in the entire league does a team's catcher have to leave due to injury? 10? The odds of it happening are less than half of one percent. If he were to do this 2 or 3 times a week, then yeah, he's playing with fire. But if he does it every now and then and one time it backfires, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
