[@jackson5116]

yeah, and I want to put my pitcher in left, you've got a problem with that PS4???

[@bricebonner7188]

They do that so they dont have to put pitching stats for every player

[@dodgersaremylife3172]

Oh yeah Yeah starting in the 2020 a position player will only allowed to pitch if their team is up by 6+ runs or it’s extra innings

[@dodgersaremylife3172]

Oh yeah Yeah former Dbacks future Dodger

[@rhino6916]

Anyone watching in the 2019 season and got this in their recomended Edit: now it’s 2020 and the season is canceled due to the corona virus Edit: 2020 and now the season isn’t cancelled Edit: 2021 and Rizzo strikes again (Freeman strikeout)

Can you imagine if Cubs game back and won in bottom of 9th making Rizzo the winning pitcher???

[@ordinary1069]

roy canuck Best Bullpin Pitcher of all time.

[@onionplays3303]

roy canuck josh hamilton has a win as a pitcher, I think. The Ranger's game went into extra's, and to save the bullpen, they had Hamilton pitch an inning (scoreless, mind you.) Then the Ranger's got the lead, and they sent Hamilton to finish it out. I think that's what happened.

[@raoulvlaun9110]

bargain bob and the Red Sox

[@nathanhensn8717]

bargain bob Everyone kind of props up the Arrieta trade as one of the best Cubs moves of all time and rightfully so, but the conviction on a young Rizzo to make that trade is very damn impressive. They both knew right away he was going to be the cornerstone. Russell and Jake were value trades that made sense. Rizzo was a we need him now trade. Theo/Jed seen something other people didn't.

[@tylito4764]

bargain bob cubs gave up josh donaldson. So its 50/50

[@rohunsaigal2576]

Red Sox probably more, at least the Padres got Cashner out of it. Red Sox lost him for nothing and then Theo got him anyway

[@jackson5116]

He had cancer though, and people didn't know if he'd rebound. He fought it, won, and has had an amazing run in the MLB. HOF? Maybe not, not right now at least, but who knows what happens in the future (doubtful, but you never know).

[@spartanmikek028]

I'm a Cubs fan but i also applaud Pollock. He swung at the first pitch that got close to the strike zone and was not trying to kill the ball. He just put an easy swing on it knowing it was the end of the game and they had a big lead. Very fun moment.

No he was tryin to get it out of the park. Every at bat is sacred for a player.

[@nickrich4995]

Get that comment out there so in 5 years people see it

[@ericdodson3630]

I was admitted to the hospital the day after this game took place, I was so out of it from my gallbladder having an infection (was in the hospital for 5 days). I did not watch this game or any of the games against the Dbacks that week. I later heard about it from a member of a cubs facebook group I'm apart of. I had to watch to see Rizzo make his pitching debut, and even 5 months later it's so much fun to actually see him on the mound.

[@hi.1492]

When you know your losing the game...

[@GFHarmy]

You're* a

[@SHaro-np5wd]

I wish he actually gave it his all. It would be nice to see position players, aside from ichiro, who actually put in an attempt when called/given opportunity on the mound

[@ryanaltfillisch7155]

When we see position players pitch, managers tell the pitchers how hard to throw based on how valuable that player is to the team's success. Ichiro was a great player, but when he pitched, he was a bench bat with the Marlins and wasn't really a big factor in whether that team succeeded or not, so the manager had no problem letting Ichiro rev it up and put on a show. With Rizzo, he's an integral part of the Cubs, so there's no point in risking his arm by having him throw hard, so it makes sense to have him go out there and lob it in in hopes it screws up the batter's timing and they hit an easy pop-up or grounder.

[@SHaro-np5wd]

Ryan Altfillisch Lol. I appreciate the explanation but I do watch the game. I'm aware the management is in charge of the position player when on the mound, informing on the speed/ actual effort put in. I was simply stating that Id love to enjoy an actual effort from position players just to see their pitching potential. Their a star on their regular position, obviously, but yeah.

[@bmoose566]

I think Chris Davis of the orioles was allowed to throw his hardest in a game against the Red Sox.. but I'd have to check

[@bmoose566]

Sergio Haro here's the link if ya didn't see it before.. he threw 2 innings of shutout ball and was throwing mid to upper 80s and hit 90 2 or 3 times kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmjLiYKup9Strq8

This is correct, he touched 93 a few times if I recall and might have even gotten the win?

[@mg3873]

I honestly want to see a position player pitch in the first inning to allow pitchers who aren't as good such as Chatwood who leads in walks to allow the starting pitchers to get warmed up more than just the "warmup" there's a specific term but I can't seem to remember it. As for people saying the Cubs suck, if the Cubs sucked, they wouldn't have the best record in the NL. However, I do agree that this was a stupid idea considering Rizzo is one of the Cubs best players.
