MLB pinch hitters
Interesting stat quoted by Jim Deshaies in the Astros game a little earlier regarding pinch-hitters in the majors this year. Coming into action today, NL pinchers were hitting just .217 with AL sub batters a paltry .159.
Far more opportunites for there to be a pinch-hitter in the NL without the weenie DH rule like the AL, so the averages alone don't really mean much without known all of the stats behind them. But still, in a game where the law of averages eventually even out, got to think we will see those averages will be on their way up from this point on.
By the way, I'm watching the Astros post-game show and I'm pretty sure if given the opportunity, I'd do Alyson Footer. That is all, we now return you to your regularly scheduled happy hour
