As a lifetime NL gu, I had to look up the DH rules. Just sharing for those who may not know.

Yes, a designated hitter (DH) can move to the field, but once that happens, the team loses the DH and the pitcher must bat in the spot of the defensive player the DH replaced, or another player if multiple substitutions occur.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
DH Role:
The DH bats for the pitcher, allowing the pitcher to focus solely on defense.
Moving to the Field:
If the DH is moved to a defensive position, the team forfeits the DH, and the pitcher must bat in the spot of the defensive player who was replaced.
Multiple Substitutions:
If there are multiple substitutions, the manager can decide where the pitcher will bat.
Ohtani Rule:
The "Ohtani rule" allows a player to be both the pitcher and DH, but if the player is removed from pitching, they can remain the DH.
No DH for Pitcher:
A team cannot have a DH bat for the pitcher if the DH has been moved to the field, or if the pitcher is moved to another defensive position, or if a player pinch-hits or pinch-runs for the DH.

very nice play Burly

Ok ,cool night, Winn with history of back issues, no backup ss on the bench and Oil DH's his utility man. Come on man! Someone said we fans have hind site, but Oli lacks fore cite.

even nicer play Noot

GREAT defensive play by Noot in LF, catching popup against the net along the LF line... Noot's bat may have cooled a little, but his defense is still there...

Burly and Noot flashing the leather and 3rd out can o corn F9

a lot

Why not put Walker at third and move Nado to short?

Anybody have Pages at 2b on their bingo card? You can’t make this stuff up….oh wait Mo can! Isn’t anyone above Mo embarrassed by this kind of stuff?

I’m okay with it now.

If it gets back, you can always make the switch

0 games there. Ever

using Donny as DH bites Oli in the buttt

and MO gets dumber by the year

Yea that was kind of dumb should have had him in the outfield and put waker or noot at DH just but oli doesn’t plan ahead

It’s only dumb because we as fans have hindsight in our corner.

lol you would think a manager would take these things into consideration

I would put that on roster construction. The way it is now it’s either in the field for Donovan are benched. Never DH. Winn’s injury just happened to fall on the right. Just offering a different side.

Noot walk for the second time. For some reason, Walker could take those exact same pitches and find himself called out on strikes.

2 SB for Noot

Hahaha we’re going to blow a 3rd and no out again. Never fails.
