What the heck is this?
Luis Rojas was asked on Tuesday when he plans to start giving his pitchers some at-bats in preparation to hit again. The manager said, originally, pitchers were going to start hitting this week. That plan changed, and they will begin taking hacks a little later in camp.
“We’ve been waiting to see if there’s going to be a DH, and that definitely would help with a lot of the things that are going on just to keep everyone healthy as we have a bubble,” Rojas said.
This is insane.
GET THE TEAM READY FOR THE SEASON.
Let the pitchers bat. The worst that happens is that MLB goes – PSCYHE, THERE IS A DH and then you don’t have the pitchers bat. Why would you waste the practice games not getting them ready.
And why isn’t Dom getting reps in LF.
As I floated yesterday, is it possible that Sandy Alderson who was and maybe is (I am too busy to find out) on the Rules Committee knows that a DH is coming?
In the meantime, this is reckless. The manager’s job in the spring is to get the team ready. I’m seeing a team waste time. Not good. I’m not sure Rojas is up to the major league job.
