exactly. in this situation let the first pinch hitter get into the box, throw an intentional ball and then switch pitchers. they either pinch hit - dogbert May 2, 12:26 2
- there's no need to even throw a pitch, though. once the batter has been announced over the PA system he is considered to have entered the game. -- nm - znufrii May 2, 12:27 1
  - Exactly. -- nm - Krusty May 2, 12:28
Yeah, that I've seen. -- nm - Don Homer May 2, 12:25 2
- which is really just bad managing. -- nm - znufrii May 2, 12:28 1
  - (unless you don't care about the matchup, that is) -- nm - znufrii May 2, 12:28
