Ummmm.kinda confused....?
Question:Ok in the 14th inning of the Cubs/Padres game the Padres had their pitcher Jake Peavy PH for someone. I was just wondering why they did that because it seems like the pitcher would be the last person a manager would want to put in as a PH.
Can someone please explain?

After they run out of pitch hiters they have to use a pitch pitcher or a bench pitcher who hasn't pitched to hit for another pitcher who is tired because he worked previous innings.And yes peavy, willis and zambrano are the best PP (pitch-pitchers alive)
I don't know why the cubs didn't put Zambrano in the OF last year he could hit 30HR+
What players have hit 2 or more grand slams in one game?
Watching the game too. I would imagine the he was the last bat on the bench. It is in the 14th all the guys probably have been used.How can four outs be recorded in half an inning?
Simple. They had no one left on the bench for an offensive position. So they chose to have their best available batting pitcher (who also happens to be their ace) take a swing. This has happened more than once. Dontrelle Willis has pinch-hit during a regulation nine inning game before. Babe Ruth was a pitcher to start his career. In his last start Carlos Zambrano was 2-2 with a hr, 2 ribbies and a run scored. But, in this situation it was simply that he was the only one available.How early should I get to the game to catch all of batting practice?
A PH can be any player, plus some pitchers are better then some hitters and that is probably why they used Peavy. Pitchers can also be pinch runners.This was a true story?What do u think of it?
because peavy can actually hit pretty good he has 2 homers and 17 rbis in his career and if i was left up to pitchers i would want him or zambrano or dtrain .those 3 can hit a ball !Red sox or yankees,mets or other?
and it probably was the last player the Padres wanted to put in, but they might not have had a choice. There are some pitchers- Dontrelle Willis of Florida for one, who probably oinch hit a lot because they are good hitters. I know the Mets have had Tom Glavine oinch hit a few times to bunt. This tends to happen more often than you think in extra inning games.Who is the best Jap player in MLB right now?
I was late to my night class because of this game. Peavy came in because the Pad's had no one else to pinch hit. Not all pitchers are bad hitters. Peavy is good, Willis is good, Zambrano is good, Maddux can bunt real well and so on and so fourth.More Questions & Answers...
