You leave him in to get the toughest out then take him out? Doesn't make sense to me.
I just found a new supply of forks!

PH for Verlander?

Another reason to bring DH to both leagues.

Are you kidding me? This is the reason not to have a DH.

Yup, why would we want to see their best pitcher pitch in the WS anyway?

I don't like pulling him. The one out he would make in a one run game seems less significant than the three or six outs he could've gotten.

No one forced him to take him out. Makes the game more interesting.

How about we have two DH's then? Who wants to see a SS bat who has an average of .180?

Some might argue that football is better and more exciting than it was when players played both sides of the ball. So who knows.

That's why the should've kept him in. One out was worth it. Especially since gattis isn't quite ty Cobb.

Acc to this they should play 2/5 days and have more off days so the best pitchers can pitch more. I'm into no DH btw, but I think they should institute a rule in AL games that if a team wants their pitcher can bat and have a designated fielder (that way Arrieta or someone like T Wood can pitch and bat and someone like Heyward can just field).

Which is why teams that have a good hitting short stop are at a huge advantage. That doesn't apply to pitchers.

Madison Bumgarner, Jake Arrieta, Travis Wood, Greg Maddux. Also, some pitchers are good bunters.
