Frustrated with his teams consistent ineptitude at scoring runs while he tosses gems on the mound (13 runs scored in support in Doc’s 8 losses, 3.79 run support per game overall), Roy Halladay has decided to hit in his next appearance. Slated to throw on Monday against Oakland, Halladay will forgo the DH and bat in the 9th spot in the order. The Jays have received a dismal production line of .215/.320/.370 out of the DH spot this season, prompting Halladay to say, “F— it, if Scutaro can hit 2nd every day, I might as well hit too.”
How long before the Jays bring back Robbie Alomar, Johnny O and Joe Carter? Hell even bring back Pauly Molly!
On a related note, Paul Maholm is batting clean-up for the Pittsburgh Pirates today.
