Baseball substitution question..
Ok, I'm very well versed in the rules of baseball, but something struck me just now and I'm a little puzzled.
Playing an American League game, can a player play as the DH for... say.. 6 innings, then come in as a relief pitcher for one, and then go back to being the DH?
I'm thinking that as long as he isn't lifted for another pitcher in the middle of his outing, it would be allowed. I just have no recollection of anyone attempting this.
The Brewers have a pitcher who they use as a pinch-hitter, so it may make sense for them to use him as a DH when they do interleague... but what if they need him to pitch in the same game?
