Malike Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Just now, O's84 said: I thought you had to be a certain number runs down for that. Have we reached that yet? Under the new guidelines, leading teams have to be up by 10 or more runs in the ninth inning in order to let a position player pitch while trailing teams can use a position player anytime it's down by eight or more runs. Position players are also allowed to pitch anytime in extra innings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be a 10 run deficit for a position player to pitch and at this rate that will happen in the eighth inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never thinks about how to shuttle the ball perfectly to second base. I am hoping he learns how to play the position better and it isnt a situation of him being baseball stupid. I continue to say, your best power hitter shouldn't be playing SS. Let him play 1B and focus on his offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone on the 25-man should be allowed to pitch, hit, or field at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
