I’m shocked that not one of these position player pitchers has ever been smoked by a screaming line drive

Nice win. I hate, hate, hate position players throwing 50 mph, but it's a lot better if it is the opposition.  Ober looks like he isn't breaking a sweat when he's cruising. Very few balls were ha

Hope Gasper goes 4 for 4 today.  Hope he does it again tomorrow.  But I quickly got used to seeing Keaschall in the DH spot, and I already miss him.

Tune in just in time to see a guy throwing 52 mph in the 8th inning. Hateeee this, will never understand why people love it 

Personally, I would not allow it. MLB has 13 person pitching staffs and teams rotate pitchers up and down through options and waivers; there are options. No excuses for it. Next we can expect a Manfredball 10 run rule. 

To be fair, position players have pitched on rare occasions all through baseball history. This was usually in extreme circumstances and teams formerly had 8-10 person pitching staffs.

I remember the position guys putting in more effort than they’ve been. This is bordering on beer league slow pitch softball arc

Oh no the dreaded position player pitcher.

Maybe MLB should enact a rule that when a team does this the last pitcher used has to stay in and DH, or maybe they lose their DH for the next game. Nobody wants to see a pitcher hit any more than they want to see a position player pitch.

I know Castro is on the IL, but maybe Vazquez can pitch

It had been a while since Alcala pitched, and I forgot how unsettling it can be.
