Dogbert: all that matters is whether to batter has been announced as the hitter. You don't need to pitch the ball for him to be considered in the - Krusty May 2, 12:35 13
- yeah, a pitcher must pitch to one hitter, the batter can be removed anytime. nm -- nm - groiny May 2, 13:12
- are you saying that you can pinch for someone just announced as a pinch hitter? - zork May 2, 12:43 9
  - You can keep switching all you want you just lose every guy that gets announced. - Krusty May 2, 12:50 6
    - from a scoring perspective, the plate appearance goes to whichever batter finishes the at bat, correct? -- nm - znufrii May 2, 12:52 1
      - Yup. -- nm - Krusty May 2, 12:56
    - of course, you do. once someone is taken off the lineup card they are done for the day - zork May 2, 12:51 3
      - Not often enough. They should have them scheduled. I'm a big fan of the double header. - Krusty May 2, 12:56 2

- too technically inept to use a system to use DNC lists and too small to hire a calling service. - zork May 2, 12:36 5
  - Probably true, and maybe it's constant rejection that makes them so unpleasant. - MojaveMeg May 2, 12:46 4
    - whatya gonna do, sue them? good luck with that, cause they'll find some way of showing you have a previous biz relationship via a 3rd party or the .. -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 12:58 2
      - or the calling biz is a seprate incorp service, maybe in another state even, assets are a dozen phones and 3 tables -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 13:01 1
        
        if you've ever filled out a contest form, you're cooked. -- nm - zork May 2, 13:03
