April 11, 201610 yr Why, should a leadoff hitter be embarrassed if the pitcher is batting 9th? Hamilton is batting 9th in this line up.

April 11, 201610 yr and? if he was batting first, he would still be behind the pitcher. Not his first at bat.
April 11, 201610 yr I'd be embarrassed to have the pitcher bat in front of me! Why? If your Hamilton it doesn't help the reds at all batting him 8th with the pitcher after him. Batting him last is like him batting leadoff once it gets to him. If he does manage to get on then he has the ability to steal to get in scoring range for the topportunity of the order to hit him in.

If a position player can't hit better than a pitcher find one that can hit better than his weight for $570,000 dollars a year.

April 12, 201610 yr Really good stuff from Finnegan that inning. Lost it for about 10 pitches, but really battled back. Great pitches vs Heyward.

April 12, 201610 yr Just saw a tweet that Cozart has swung the bat 31 times so far this year and yet to miss. If that's true that is an impressive stat.
