what now?

Since I ignore midseason exhibition games, I don’t remember what you are referring to… did Botchy bat a pitcher in an AL park last year? Like playing FB with 10 men on the field.

Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti. "I treat Timmy differently from most pitchers: I leave him alone."

He did a double switch to take the DH out.

In Bochy's defense

I seem to recall that the DH was the worst hitter in our lineup most interleague games last year, and our pitchers probably were better bets to have a good AB.

Still the loving, adoptive father of Hector Sanchez. And who doesn't love switch-hitting catchers with power and patience?

That’s more of a brain fart by Maddon. Bochy does this stuff deliberately.

And Maddon's ended up well

Andy Sonnanstine hits an RBI double. Evan who?
