Yeah I think it comes down to teams managing with more of a long term outlook than trying 100% to win each individual game. Pete Rose would hate it. (partly because he had money on his team on most nights lol)or just condition more relievers to pitch multiple innings
And just maaaaybe let your starters go deeper?

But in that Tigers game they rolled with position players for 3 straight innings. How do you get to that point? It's embarrassing
Yeah Clemens pitching was cool but in general I don't like the way we seem to be seeing it much more regularly. Hopefully they are telling these position players to take it easy because eventually someone will be injured as a result of this. But I really just don't like the idea of quitting. Especially doing it down 11-0 in the 7th (although the way the Tigers offense has been this year 11 probably seemed like 100)i dont necessarily have a problem with it... when the game is out of hand, its fun to not take the game seriously... kind of like a mercy rule...
Let the players have fun... thats what a game is all about... and fans enjoy the game more when players are having fun...
Clemens on the mound though was more about his father than a position player pitching...

I was talking about when the team that is losing rolls out their position players. But it sounds like you're talking about a scenario where some team that is Up 15 runs uses a position player. I don't think that happens that often-but you're right I would love to see a team try that and then end up losing lolits not quitting... if a team pitches their position players and he gives up enough runs for them to lose, they still lose... would be fun to see that happen once.... but i think it is refreshing to watch players have fun again... even if the gimmick is getting old...
