GDT 8/20 DALLAS BRINGS THE FISH SMOKER

[CyYoung31]

Did they change the rule where you have to go out and tell the ump what you're doing before making a double switch? Because we did not do so.

It wasn’t a double switch. Hamilton batted 9th.

 

[USMA76]

Pittsburgh takes a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the eighth.

Technically not the correct term but serves the same purpose.

I don't mind using Hamilton as a PH tonight since we're down a man due to McCann.

 

[nsacpi]

3rd game in 4 nights for Greene

 

[Snowman]

Apparently they did change that rule. Who was the long-time AL manager a few years back who came to the NL, tried to make his first double switch, forgot to tell the umps, and they refused to let him keep the guy in? It had to have been changed after that.

True.

You just hate to see it.

 

[Braves1976]

Greene had him 0-2 and gives him a cookie, lol.

What about Adams?

 

[weso1]

What about Adams?

I prefer Hamilton. More practical.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I’ll take it, Greene!

 

[USMA76]

Nats lose.

 

[Braves1976]

nats lose, hopefully we hold on and pick up a game here.

You still have to tell the ump if you do it while your in the field. But it's never been the case for a pinch hitter going into the field in the next half inning.

 

[Braves1976]

funny hamilton get two ab's his first game right after AA said he's not here to hit.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I am sensing a very dominate starting pitching run over the next week and a half. I think Folty and Fried battle like they did this weekend is going to push this starting staff to a streak not seen this year. It will be glorious.

 

[BeanieAntics]

With the Nats loss tonight, they will officially be buried with a Braves win.

 

[USMA76]

Hamilton is our Willie Mays Hayes. "Every time you hit the ball in the air, you owe me 20 pushups."
