Last weekend, the author traveled to New York to see former Phillies pitcher Ranger Suarez, who struggled against the Yankees. In a related game, the Red Sox used position player Andruw Monasterio to pitch, resulting in a humorous yet ineffective performance, as he allowed five runs with pitches that barely exceeded 40 MPH. The situation sparked a debate about the appropriateness of position players pitching during blowouts, highlighting fans’ mixed feelings on the topic. Ultimately, the author questions the entertainment value of such scenarios compared to the expected drama of a Yankees-Red Sox rivalry.
