Still not sold on the pitcher batting 8th. Their record says otherwise though. La Russa did this alot hitting your schumakers and descalsos of the world 9th, and even he stopped doing it. I get the theory of it but the other new age thing is to have your best hitter up in the 2 spot to get him more ABs, so doesn't that mean you are also giving your worst hitter more ABs as well.?
