Yes, Jenn. I know not only the score, but also the ID of the final Sox hurler of the evening. By the way, before I go any further our 'favorite' Jeckyll & Hyde won his first game since 2006 for whoever his new team is last night. Lest we forget him. Anyway, tonight's position player pitcher--there is no rule against it and it's been done before, though I can't tell you exactly how many times. However, if you really want to play Believe It or Don't, the most amazing outfielder playing pitcher incident is also a Red Sox player, guy in the Hall, last man to hit .400, one of only two to win the Triple Crown twice, man with a lifetime OBP of nearly .500 (talk about amazing). You guessed it, none other than Teddy Ballgame. He came in on at least one occasion, maybe two, I'm a bit foggy on the details and pitched in relief. As 'Ol Case said, "You could look it up."
There have been other examples in MLB over the years as well.
As for tonight's abortion, might as well get it all out of your system all at once. We're still in 1st and tomorrow's a new day. But, truth be told, I'm a bit concerned about the pitching. Our big three has three guys with ERA's over five, one of whom has shoulder problems. Now I know we've worked out OK so far, but this does not bode well if it persists for too very long.
