So.... Nick Swisher should at least be in the conversation for AL Player of the week.

He hit like... .500 with 2 homers and 10 rbi's....

AND AS OF TONIGHT.... he pitched a scoreless 8th inning.

LOL... Chien Ming Wang got blown out and the bullpen was thin....

So Swisher pitched the 8th.. he walked the first batter, gave up a single.... then he struck some on out and recorded the next 2 outs for a scoreless 8th. Thats classic.

Kind of a feel good laugh.

I saw that lol. Swisher is their best slugger and pitcher.

I honestly can't believe he struck someone out. That's gotta feel bad coming back into the dugout after you got struck out by a fielder.

Alfred, I think it would hurt more to be taken down by a catcher. Sure they know the game and strategy, but I question their overall ability at times.

It was Gabe Kapler, and in Gabe Kapler's defense, Gabe Kapler was distracted by the gorgeous 20-foot tall visage of Gabe Kapler on the scoreboard. That instinctively caused Gabe Kapler to flex Gabe Kapler's mighty bicep, which caused Gabe Kapler to forget all about swinging and let a 77 MPH fastball float by Gabe Kapler's well-defined chest. Gabe Kapler regrets that Gabe Kapler is so beautiful at times like these.

Didn't Canseco try this in a game and killed his arm?

Curious, many pitchers are converted OFs and vice versa. Anyone see if Swisher even pitched in the minors?
