Hank hates you two

While I don't feel strongly either way on the DH rule, Tuesday provided us with an example of pitchers continuing to have success at bat (much to the dismay of Hank Steinbrenner). Andy Sonnanstine and Scott Olsen appeared determined to continue the cause for letting pitchers hit.

Sonnanstine coaxed a third-inning walk and then scored on Akinori Iwamura's two-run homer. Not to be outdone, Olsen singled home a run in the fourth. Both pitchers gave up two runs tonight, with each of them marking up the other's ERA.

Fantasy Impact: Only Olsen pitched well enough and long enough to get the win, giving up four hits in seven innings. He was saddled with a no decision in the end, the same fate as Sonnanstine. While Olsen has rebounded from a disastrous 2007 (15 losses) to post a 7-4 mark in '08, Sonnanstine is still full of hits and misses. He was actually a no-hit wonder at the plate tonight, deftly sacraficing a runner over in his other plate appearance. Sonnanstine is hitting .667 this year. He's 2-3.
