Bases loaded bottom 2, Do you really let starting pitcher hit with 2 outs?

Just curious.

Thanks

 

yes general,to early to pinch hit

Guess that's why I'm not a coach. I bring in the bench and put a hitter in.

no way you pinch hit that early General....you still only have a 37% chance of reaching base on average...That move could screw your team up for 3-4 games actually...

unless you have the over then you pinch hit every chance you get

I'm thinking Busch news bears. We play to win.

The principal reason why the AL adopted the DH rule, like it or not.

Pitcher gets a sacrifice later. That helps the cause.

It depends on the situation ..
say your down 3-0 in a playoffs and losing game 4 early, then maybe ...

you can run this starter back out for game 5 and a pen spot in the 7th.

In every other scenario - highly unlikely.

Doing such a thing would burn out your bullpen so fast and you can be assured you will have no shot at playoffs.
