How do I know Lizak is a pitcher?

fromtheline · 12-12-2013, 07:26 PM

I have seen A.J. Burnett and Strasburg hit them before.

Because the play-by-play specifically references it.

There's a Kris Benson/Anna Benson joke here somewhere.

Reds have used Leake as a PH a few times, but then that was on Dusty 'Thank God He Is Gone' Bakers tenure, I am so glad I do not have to look at that damn toothpick anymore

jazzrack · 12-14-2013, 07:21 PM

so I watch them flail away for 100 at-bats before they get lucky and run into one and I am supposed to be overjoyed with glee at this?

I would rather watch a competent hitter for every at bat.

I manage my team's games. Got to the point where I could not stand World Series games in the AL parks.

Difference of opinion I guess.

Using Leake as a PH was one of the few smart moves Dusty ever made and that.toothpick will not be missed here either. The Reds shoud be 6-8 wins better this year since Dusty cost them that many every yr at a minimum

I saw Dwight Gooden hit a home run at Shea Stadium. The Miami rookie pitcher Fernandez crushed one this past season.
