Own thread deserving. So when teams are getting blown out of a game, sometimes that team decides to use a positional player to pitch and save the pitching staff from throwing more innings. It often times doesn't look good, but when you are down that many runs... what's the worst that can happen?

Freddie Freeman is one of the best hitters in the game. Plays First Base for the Atlanta Braves.

Anthony Rizzo plays First Base for the Chicago Cubs.

The joy both players, their teams, and the fans in the stadium experienced isn't rare in Baseball. Just the situation.

Set him with 'fastballs' then wiped him out with an off speed pitch - I would never let him live that down if I was Rizzo

I haven't watched baseball since I was a kid. Are the Braves really good or do the Cubs just still suck?

It's just one game. The Braves are really good but the Cubs have been a force in the NL for the past 6 years or so.
