Except I'm not wrong concerning the actual point which you seem to want to obfuscate so badly-there is no practical difference in skill sets demanded between a guy batting for a pitcher in the first inning but not playing the field and a guy batting for a pitcher in the 8th inning but not playing in the field. That's not fuzzy math at all-it's acknowledging the actual pertinent issue. Are you willing to concede that point or have you jumped Fonzie over a shark tank?
Its been kosher for pitchers to get to pitch but not have to actually hit in the NL for eons. It's pedantic to call scorecard in the first inning as if it actually has a deep significance and it's a little strange for opponents of the DH to use THAT as their argument.
