I am not a fan of changing pitchers mid-at-bat.

If the guy comes in out of the pen with 2-0 count you already limit his effectiveness.

I like it in certain situations. Mentally weak batters will be mind17ed by it, especially if we switch hands on them.

Would you rather Evan Mitchell have been left in to walk Jones?

I don't like it either, but it needed to happen there.

 

[benatmsu]

Yeah, I suppose in that situation it didn't really matter... either way - 2-0 count, or bases loaded - as a batter you know he's coming in to throw strikes.
But I think my point in general is, if you know 2-0 that the pitcher doesn't have it any more, you likely knew before the at bat started.

I love it when it works. It's like anything else "unconventional" in that it draws a crapload of negative attention when it doesn't work.
