The Dord of Darien

Musings from the Mayor of the Internet

The DH is for pussies anyhow

Good times: Joe Maddon messed up the lineup card and the Rays had to bat their pitcher today. It’s pretty hilarious that Sonnanstine hit an RBI double, but I gotta say that rule is a little bit wack. Maddon’s lineup card listed both Zobrist and Longoria as 3B. You’d think maybe he could say "oh, yeah, that dude who’s been playing 3B so far is the real 3B. That other guy is the DH. My bad." Apparently that’s not good enough in crazy baseball land, though, and that mistake means they lose their DH.

Eh, no harm, no foul, I suppose. Sonnanstine had a better day at the plate than Longoria did anyhow.
